Christmas Do

Please note that the venue for our annual Christmas do, which we had planned to hold at the West End pub on December 12th,, has now been changed to the Cutter Inn on the same date.

Daphne Hanson image critique evening

On Wednesday 28 November we have renowned judge Daphne Hanson at the club. Daphne will be giving feedback on the images submitted in the first two pdi competitions of the season, and how these might have been improved to achieve a higher score. Members will also be encouraged to make constructive comments in an informal and non-competitive environment that will help both new and more experienced photographers, so everyone is encouraged to support the evening.
