IMPORTANT NEWS: OUR MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY 8TH JANUARY 2026 HAS BEEN POSTPONED!
The club committee decided yesterday (Tuesday) evening to postpone the meeting scheduled for this coming Thursday evening, 08 January 2026, as a result of severe weather warnings issued in respect of ‘Storm Goretti’. This decision was taken in the interests of member safety. Our next meeting will now be on Thursday 15 January.
We very much hope to be able to reschedule the street photography presentation by Colin Strong ARPS to a later date in the club season.
Stay safe
