Newsletter 31/07/22

Morning All

Another wet and rainy day as I type this newsletter; never mind, in theory, according to the BBC, better weather on its way – sometime!

Talking of rain, well water really, here’s a challenge:

We would like members to take some images, as many as you like, within reason, that in some way incorporate water; not necessarily as the main theme, though it could be; it could be of a river, lake or just a drop. Anyway, that’s the challenge and images to be shown at the next members evening on August 10th. You can bring them in on a ‘stick’ or send them to me via email or Wetransfer, so that they are ready to show. No prize, just brownie points. Please have a go and thanks to Greg for the idea!

Message from John:

I have three Canon Fit NB-10L batteries and one charger surplus to requirements.

Can anyone could make use of them? They would be free to anyone who can use them. Please contact John on: john@johnmoxham.co.uk
