| 5th January Guest Speaker  | Les Loosemore ARPS AWPF DPAGB Fotospeed sponsored photographer I decided to take up sports photography as a serious hobby after a serious injury forced my early retirement from playing competitive football. This early interest broadened into many other genres of photography, including nature, landscapes and travel. Complimentary to my taking of the image, the sponsorship arrangement with Fotospeed resulted in a passion for printing, also travelling the UK giving Print Presentations to camera clubs and other kindred organisations. I also present 35mm Slide Shows, using my own Twin Rollei Projector and Sound System. |

Sitting elegantly in 400 acres of historic parkland and gardens, this 18th-century house was purchased by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the 1950s, when it was de-requisitioned after the Second World War. With extraordinary vision, the Iliffes brought Basildon Park back to life, acquiring a collection of fine furnishings and carefully selected Old Masters. |
