Photography Group December Meeting

Posted on by

The Group met on 13th December to accommodate Anjie Sargeant who returned from South Africa the day before and, surprisingly was a tad jet-lagged.

We welcomed Ann Hawke to her first meeting who was awarded Best Picture for ‘Three Headed Goat’.

Most of the discussion was not of a photographic nature with Christmas fully in peoples’ minds. However, mainly because of personal issues, it was greed to move the January meeting to 20th January with a revised theme of ‘Past Holidays’ – a departure from the norm where all pictures were to come from personal archives.

  • This will be a self-drive trip for up to 20 people.

It will be a “guided tour” of the Cathedral and will include the Cloister and Crypt if it is not flooded.

The cost will be £11.00 each for a maximum of 20 people. The trip is wheelchair friendly but there are steps and is likely to take an hour.

WALKERS OUT IN SNOW FLURRIES

Posted on by

Carole and Mike led  14 of us on a 5 mile walk from the Royal Oak in Charlton this morning. Light drizzle and some snow flurries for most of the way. Temperature around 3°C but ended with a good lunch in a warm pub. Good way to spend the morning.
