THURSDAY 14th JANUARY
Members Evening
Members’ evenings have always proved to be very popular and Zoom certainly hasn’t stopped this trend, the first of 2021 was well attended and definitely came up to the mark. David Brookes took on the task of organising the programme and it was definitely an evening packed with entertainment from the fourteen members who volunteered to share their images with the rest of the club members. The theme of the evening was ‘Memorable Place’ and those participating talked about their photographs and personal memories with a genuine warmth. Portugal, Bavaria and France, to name just a few, were the far-away countries we ‘visited’ whilst many areas in the UK featured greatly, the topics covered varied from holidays and local walks to photographic shoots and weekend extravaganzas.
