Morning All
The sun has got its hat on! Heat wave on its way – what, in Garstang? Time for those sunrise and sunsets shots!
A message from Sarah Keast:
Esthwaite to see the Ospreys?
If you fancy going to Esthwaite Water in the lakes to watch and potentially photography the Ospreys Sarah is co-ordinating a visit there. Last time I was there (April) the electrically powered boat cost £45 for 2 people for 2 hours, which was enough time. They are very professional and training is given! The boats are very easy to ‘drive and steer’ and you are very clearly told where you can and cannot go!
Sarah’s preference is to go early August on a Monday or Wednesday, but could do others.
If you are interested, please contact Sarah directly on her email:
A message from Stan:
The organisers of the Soap Box Derby have asked if our club has a video photographer who would video the event for them. If not do they know anyone who might video the event for them. If you are interested please contact Stan directly on: stanley.pearson@talktalk.net
