  • My best picture of Potton

    Potton Heritage Association presents
    an Exhibition of photographs
    My best picture of Potton,
    Organized by Jean-François Boulais
    October 4th to 29th, 2011
    Legion Memorial Municipal Library of Potton
    Townhall – Mansonville

    Forty-five pictures, taken by nineteen amateur photographers will be on display. Each of these was taken in Potton, – the place where we have chosen to live, whether permanently or occasionally – and which we all love.

    Professional photographers among us, be warned! Each of the photos on display was taken by a proud amateur, some of whom displayed their works at the 2011 edition of our Annual contest in August!

    We hope that you will find our exhibition inspirational and that it will make you want to join in the adventure that is photography. Details will be at the exhibition.

    Get your cameras ready! POTTON IN WINTER is the theme chosen for the August 2012 edition of the Association’s contest.
