Here we are in what should be the middle of summer, certainly the climate change seems to be with us. Camera manufacturers ought to be paying more attention to making all cameras, and not just the more expensive ones more waterproof to combat the ever increasing deluges we seem to be getting more of.

By the time you take delivery of the next magazine we will nearly be at the start of our next season of meetings which kick off with first on Wednesday  September 4th at 7.30 in the Arts Centre. This will be a mixture of a welcome and various activities. If you are interested in joining us, then come and see who we are and what we do. You will be made very welcome, of that I can assure you,

Two reminders.  One is the last of our meetings for newcomers to photography entitled Getting off Auto ( sometimes known as the Green Square ) and takes place on August 7th 7.30 in the Arts Centre. . Also the open competition for anyone (other than professionals and members of other camera clubs ) closes on Sunday August 11th. Rules digital images only along with title, any theme or subject e mailed to  stanley.pearson@talktalk.net 

A few members of the club recently visited Chester Zoo as part of the Events Cup Challenge . Well worth a visit with all the animals having been bred there over many years. Best to visit  before the end of school term to avoid large school parties.

Finally, the last of our summer outings takes place on Sunday August 4th, or Tuesday August 6th.  The venue is Skipton and Settle.

That’s all folks, enjoy the summer if we get one !
