SOCIAL EVENING – Tue 31st OCTOBER 2017 at 7.00 pm.

Our Club’s next “get-together” is planned for Tuesday 31st October by way of a BBQ at Stuart Park, North Beach, weather permitting. Ideally we should be sitting down to our meal by 7.30 pm at the latest. (more…)

SOCIAL EVENING – Tue. 29th AUGUST 2017 at 7.30 pm

Tue. 29th August being the 5th Tuesday and a non-Club evening, provides an opportunity for members to get together.  Regular Club nights don’t give us much time for socialising with one another or even picking each other’s brains on specific “how to” questions relating to photography or related matters.

With this in mind, your Committee is organising a coffee & cake evening at Bombora Restaurant at 7.30 pm.  We do not envisage a late night as the Restaurant closes by 9.30pm.

It would be lovely to see as many members as possible with their partners.   Feel free to bring your Camera along if you wish to do some night photography either prior or after.

Thank you.

Dawne Harridge (Secretary)
