• 38 members and 2 guests attended our meeting.

• President Jim Pollock introduced our guest speaker, Chad Barry.

Chad is a former Club member and now a professional photographer who gave a presentation he calls The Rock – A Land Apart, an exploration of Canada’s most eastern province and its inhabitants. Chad showed some of the spectacular photos that he has taken in Newfoundland, including the Cape St. Mary’s bird sanctuary, small fishing villages, Gros Morne National Park, and some of the interesting characters he’s met along the way. The Chatham Camera Club thanks Chad for his entertaining and informative display and looks forward to seeing him again soon.
