The workshop planned for VBC this Wednesday February 28th will be presented by Peter Ryan, from the Maitland Camera Club.

He has a fascinating presentation on  “The life and times of Bruce, the African Cape Buffalo, who lives out on the Masai Mara and has a rather interesting meeting with The Toppi pride lions. The presentation and story  was put together from a 2 day interaction out on the Mara – my trip in 2022.

The workshop presentation will start at 7pm in the function centre at VBC

See you there. Everyone is welcome!
