Recently, OCC was approached by David Ebden, one of the volunteers at Millgate Arts Centre Delph, seeking assistance with photography for an upcoming production “Blue Stockings”.

OCC is always keen to forge links with the wider community and offer assistance where and when we are able.

Millgate is an arts centre and theatre in Delph, Saddleworth. It is a registered charity and run entirely by volunteers. They contacted OCC in May to see if anyone within the club was interested in helping with cast shots and photographs of the dress rehearsal for a forthcoming production “Blue Stockings”, to help with their publicity, website and promotion.

This was an ideal opportunity for the club to link up with a charity-based organisation within the wider community as well as providing invaluable photography experience in a theatrical, event based environment.

Roger Donallon, one our most experienced photographers, was pleased to help them with this, and produced a large number excellent images. Roger writes:

“I am pleased to advise that David and The Millgate Arts Centre have been delighted with the work produced and the images have featured in their pre-show promotional material on their website, on social media and in their programme, with credits back to Oldham Camera Club.”

“Blue Stockings” runs from 13-20 June at The Millgate Arts Centre Delph. A link to their website is here:
