Tuesday 14 Dec- Last club night until 11 Jan 22

Ok so this Tuesday is our Christmas quiz which will be a lot of fun. Please come in the Christmas mood with some nice Christmas jumpers. We will have mince pies, snacks and hopefully some non alcoholic wine.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members for there support since we started up after lockdown it really has been amazing. Our membership is sitting just under 40 and at the moment we have capped it due to covid regulations and the library’s rules.
And finally a huge thank you to the committee of this great club without which there would be no club. Most of you came on board when we were struggling and what a difference you have made and I can’t praise you enough for your commitment to your duties as a committee member. I hope you all stay when the AGM comes around.
Merry Christmas to you all and have a very happy New Year. Stay safe.
Lenny A very proud president.

Tuesday 30 Nov – Back to basics. Bring your Camera.

This Tuesday we will be having a back to basics night. Bring along your camera and any other equipment you may have, for a chance to ask the group for help, tips and advise for using

your equipment. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions about editing using photoshop. So have a think and come along with your questions and we will try are best to answer them for you.

This was a fantastic night where members were able to ask some interesting questions to the group. Willie gave a very insightful answer in relation to the regulations connected to the operation of Drones. He has promised to be a speaker in the New Year to give us some more information on all things Drones.
