September Club Night

Our next club night will be at the Valentine Bowling Club at 7.00pm on Wednesday 14th September. This month our guest speaker will be Alex Hunter who will talk about his career as a photographer, accompanied by some of his images. Many of you know Alex but for some of our newer members Alex is one of the club’s life members. I encourage you to have a look at some of his work on the club’s website and you will see what an accomplished and passionate photographer he is. A talk not to be missed.

As well as Alex’s talk the September print competitions will be judged by Bruce Baker and of course the raffle will be run with tea and coffee refreshments available.

It’s also an opportunity for those people who entered the NPF print competitions to collect your prints. Thanks to Bill Chambers who collected them at the end of the NPF weekend.
