“The first annual Gateshead Camera Club exhibition was held on 4 March 1903 at Bewick Assembly Rooms, High West Street, Gateshead. It was opened by Walter de Lancey Wilson, Mayor of Gateshead. The following day, the Newcastle Daily Chronicle reported that ‘members are to be complimented upon the excellence of their initial show’.
Fast forward 119 years, we are holding our annual exhibition between 2 – 11 November 2022 at St Mary’s Heritage Centre. The title of the exhibition is ‘Gateshead; People, Places and Pastimes’. “
