Morning All
Glad we didn’t book a short break to Paris this weekend!
Not impressed by the weather – I know the garden needed rain but there’s rain and there’s rain! And the forecast for the next 10 days……! Maybe photographic opportunities?
Many thanks to all members who ventured out last Wednesday to Cockersand Abbey and Plover Scar Lighthouse there were 10/11 of us! It was an interesting evening; chilly, very breezy but we were rewarded with an excellent sunset, albeit at 9.47 plus!
Just a reminder: will all who took part please bring in some images (or send them to Mike), – good, bad or indifferent, to ‘show and tell’ this coming Wednesday, 5th July. It will be good to see everyone’s interpretation of similar ‘scenes.’ Ta!
Message from Ray Lee:
Hi. I’m just enquiring if one of your members may be interested in doing some promotional photos of a small property in Garstang that we are looking to let out as a holiday let.
Best regards
Ray
If you are interested, please email back in to us and we will forward your interest to Ray directly.
Message from Lewis: Reminder!
You may recall that a few months ago we were approached about the possibility of supplying photographs to be displayed in the new residential/care home being built in Bowgreave.
They have decided to ask for 5 xA3 photographs to be displayed one in each lounge. We have agreed to send digital copies of photographs to Sheron.
The remit is fairly loose- photographs taken in or around Garstang including, for example, the local area of the Fylde coast, Bleasdale, Forest of Bowland etc. They need to be suitable for display in this environment. We guess that content and subject will be deemed more important than technical excellence. If you have any photos, you think would be suitable and would like to offer for this worthwhile venture, please email them to the club email by Saturday July 8th.
Many thanks to those members who have already sent their images in.
