The exhibition, It All Started in Arundel, opened on Saturday and runs until Friday, October 16.

It showcases all the winners and runners up from the club’s competitions in the 2014/15 season, apart from the Set Subjects competition, where only one image out of five from each of the first, second and third placed entries are displayed, due to space limitations.
