2025 Lymm Festival and Lymm Transport Day - we were there!
We were at Transport day again this year and the gazebo that was thanks to the grant from Lymm Parish Council was decked out with photos taken by members. There was a huge amount of interest and hopefully we can welcome some new members in the future

ELIZABETH PULMAN TALK
In February, Alan Williams of the Lymm Heritage Centre presented the life of times of Elizabeth Pulman the first female professional photographer in New Zealand who was born in Lymm. It was a fascinating evening that was enjoyed by a good turnout and we were pleased to see a number of new faces.
We are very grateful to Alan and you can learn more about Lymm Heritage Centre here

We have also been involved with the Lymm Festival and displayed our photos in the library. We had some really positive comments and the public were asked to vote on their favourite photo. Carol Sparkes was the winner with "Rainy Day" and John Taylor was second with "Otterly Wonderful". Our images are displayed in the library throughout the year so pop in and have a look.
A Year in the Life of a Farm - Agden Brook Farm
The Society was thrilled to be invited in by Frank Cookson, to record life on the farm over the course of a year. The project was to capture images which reflected the people and activities on the farm from 2023-4 and to capture these for posterity, at a time when Cheshire farm life is undergoing significant changes. Indeed, during the life of the project, the farm's dairy herd was auctioned, a sad yet invaluable moment captured by our members. In order for this important historical record to be preserved for ever, the photographs have been donated to Lymm Heritage Centre and will sit in their Reserve Collection. You can also see our dedicated page here.

The Society is always happy to liaise with local businesses which in turn support the local Lymm community. We were therefore pleased to welcome local professional photographer Andrew Collier in May 2024, when he came to the club to give us a presentation called "Talking Portraits and demo". You can read about Andrew's experience with us in his blog here.
The proof of the pudding is.... and here it is, Andrew's photograph our our President, Chris, taken on the night.

MIX56 - Lymm Radio new transmitter
LPS were invited to attend the switch on of the new transmitter which will bring better coverage to Lymm, Thelwall and Grappenhall. Two of our members captured the moment at Lymm Tennis Club which is where the new transmitter is located.

Annual competition
We hold an annual photo competition and the subject is chosen by the Landlord of the Spread Eagle. This year the subject was City Life at Night which saw a number of the members visiting local North West cities but also cities abroad.
The judge of the competition is also the Landlord of the Spread Eagle.
Below is a photo of the members meeting at the Spread Eagle to find out who the winners were. The 12 winning photos will be displayed in the bar at the Spread.
