Members Evening

While it is still very much winter, we can start to thing of spring and remind ourselves of the brighter times of last year and perhaps even years past. Bring along your pictures and stories you would like to share - your garden in bloom, a special walk in the countryside (UK or Overseas) or some interesting images of wildlife. We will have a laptop and projector so bring a disc of your favourite photos and share them with us - all images are welcome - slides, digital or traditional photographs.
