We have received this sad news from Gwynfa Camera Club.
Our friend and member Ken Watkins has passed away suddenly at his home in Beddau. We understand that his passing was not Covid related.
Ken was a member of our club for many years and during his time at the club occupied numerous committee positions, including Chairman and Treasurer. He also played a big part in promoting the social side of the club by organising annual bus trips to London: Trips that will long be remembered.
Ken was a succesful club photographer who won his fair share of competitions, most recently the 2016 Colin Williams Trophy. He always stayed true to his vision of photography, never feeling the need to compromise his style to gain a few marks extra.
He will also be remembered for having the pleasing knack of being able to put visiting speakers at their ease with an amusing comment.
The news has come as a very big shock and he will be sorely missed by everyone at the club.
Our thoughts are with his family.
