A local photography exhibition was opened by the Mayor of Cheltenham on Friday 15 October at Cheltenham Spa Station.

Councillor Steve Harvey cut the ribbon to officially open the exhibit on display in the waiting room on the station.

The exhibition shows the skills of local photographers in displaying their interpretation of the spirit of the local community.

Cheltenham Camera Club, which supports photographers from all areas of the community and all abilities, worked in partnership with Great Western Railway (GWR) to present the exhibition.

A Cheltenham Camera Club member had a chance meeting with Sarah Bennet, the GWR Customer Ambassador, which lead to the exhibition of beautiful photos showcasing Cheltenham town, the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside, and the railway itself.

Sarah said: “Cheltenham Spa welcomes customers from all over the country and world, with the station acting as a gateway not only to Cheltenham, but to the surrounding areas. I wanted our waiting room to delight both our local customers and also inspire those less familiar with the area to explore more and see what Cheltenham and Gloucester have to offer.”

Cheltenham Camera Club Committee Member, John Clare said: “The station and the camera club have both been around since Victorian times and this was a great opportunity for us to combine. The exhibition will be a permanent showcase of the glory of Cheltenham and the photographic skills of our members. The images look fantastic and transform the waiting rooms into art galleries. We hope it will add to the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike”

Station Manager Sally Fouracre said: “GWR is so proud of what Sarah has achieved together with Cheltenham Camera Club. Supporting our communities is at the heart of what we do, and this exhibition demonstrates exactly what can be achieved when we work together with local groups. We hope that all our customers who travel through the station will enjoy the beautiful images of Cheltenham and beyond that we have been able to share.”
