MOVIE MAKER MEETINGS – JUNE, JULY and AUGUST

A reminder to all members that the Movie Makers will hold only ONE meeting during the Winter months of June, July and August.  This will be on the 1st Tuesday of the month.

Please check the Club’s Website Calendar if unsure.

Photo Group members may have the opportunity of using the 3rd Tuesday in July and August as educational or discussion nights and the Committee is now looking into the feasibility of making this happen.  As often said … “watch this space”  !
