Morning All
 
Short and sweet today!
 
Many thanks to all members who managed to come to the presentation evening last Wednesday and big congratulations to all our winners, well deserved! 
We thought Allan did a great job of presenting the trophies with a bit of banter thrown in and thanks to Maurice for taking the photographs: all in all, in our opinion, the evening was a great success including the catering! Thanks, Freda, for organising Jean and her team.
 
Notices 
WhatsApp – as recently discussed, the other day, we have a WhatsApp group for what we would call ‘outings.’ 
This group is open to all members and to join please contact Adrian on adrianwhitaker@btinternet.com  or phone on: 0771 331 0555. 
Please, everyone, this group is only for informing members that you are going out and about with your camera and would anyone else like to join you. It’s not for general chit-chat!
 
The top 36 calendar images, voted on last week, were shown on Wednesday and these have now been sent to the Arts Centre Committee for consideration for the 2025 calendar. When their choice has been made the final 12 images will be shown on a Wednesday evening when we meet up.
