Despite the many suggestions and offers to 'do something' we are sticking with the original idea as new member Andy has offered to bring in his dog Maisie for you all to photograph. Definitely something new for us! Bring cameras and Andy will bring the cheese....for Maisie....if you want some own cheese, bring your own.

Easing us into 2025 will be another of our world-famous show and tell nights. You know what to do before you get told what to do!
We missed our Halloween shoot so January is a good time to go back in time and create something that's spooky...or scary....or just weird! Bring cameras, ideas and imagination and let's see what we can create.

Stewart is a professional macro photographer with a long list of renowned clients who, not surprisingly, is coming to do a presentation on Macro. Have a look here and see how up close and personal he gets. It's definitely one not to miss.
