STORRINGTON CAMERA CLUB SUCCESS

STORRINGTON Camera Club has been awarded more than £6,400 of lottery funding to help provide new equipment and learning resources for its members. With only 19 members at the beginning of 2006, funding was vital to update the resources to have digital projection equipment, including laptop and drop down screen for use at its fortnightly meetings.
