Well, 2 phrases that don’t normally go together; Bank Holiday Monday and warm and sunny! Wow, warm and sunny weather at last!
Many thanks to all members who managed to attend last Wednesday’s meeting and to meet some of the members from Morecambe Camera Club.
It was judged an excellent evening and a good chance to mingle and chat to members from another club. Don’t forget we will be going on a reciprocal trip to Heysham in late August – details will follow in the fullness of time.
Also, HUGE thanks to Ian for, I hope, solving the sound system – proof of the pudding at the next meeting!
The zoom event was actually recorded. To watch please follow the instructions below – the volume is low, but hey, it’s our first go, so cut us a little slack please!
