Afternoon All
 
Sorry the newsletter is late today; Shelly and I have just returned from photographing the Lancaster Grand Prix; 70 competitors in the Men’s Open Race. Very warm and beautiful landscape – and plenty of vitamin D! Maybe some images shown on Wednesday!
 
Notices:
 
Possible outing: SPITFIRE VISITOR CENTRE, Hangar 42, Blackpool Airport. The cost would be £35 per person, minimum of 10 persons, for a 3 hour session. If you are interested, please email Mike back and register and if we get 10 members Michael will organise.
 
Last Call: St Catherines Hospice Care. In last weeks’ newsletter I said we had a visit, from a Peter Frankish from the care home. 
He would like, free, as many prints of the Lake District (NOT mounted) that we would like to donate. They are ‘running’ a theme, to raise money, called ‘In the Frame.’ This is a collaboration between St Catherine’s and local artists and photographers. 
Basically, any prints donated, they mount and sell on; any image(s) will need a title and your name will appear on a card alongside the image. 
If you have some Lake District images but in digital format only and still want to donate them, just send them to me and I’ll collate them and send of for printing in a ‘batch’ thus saving on money. 
Any questions just get back in touch; I would really like to help as it will go to a very good cause.
 
Don’t forget! Show and tell for 31st July: any image you wish to share, preferably taken this year and no limit on numbers, within reason! You could send them to me and I’ll put them on the presentation or bring them in on a stick. Have a go – the more the merrier!
 
Up and coming programme of events:
 
Wednesday July 31st: Presentation by Sarah – ‘My Morocco Adventure.’ Plus, a ‘show and tell’ (see above), any images, preferably taken this year, you wish to share.
 
Sunday August 4th: Events Cup – one of two possible dates for the last Events Cup destination of Skipton and Settle.
 
Tuesday August 6th: Events Cup – one of two possible dates for the last Events Cup destination of Skipton and Settle.
 
Wednesday August 7th: Get Off Auto – talk by Stan titled ‘Get creative with shutter speed.’ Followed by a lot of practical image taking, inside and out down by the river; this will be an experience, I promise!
 
Wednesday August 14th: ‘Get Off Auto’ – last one – Talk by Mike on camera equipment and all the accessories and other things!
 
Wednesday August 21st: No meeting as we are having a committee meeting.
 
Wednesday August 28th: Work in progress!
 
That’s all for now folks,
 
Cheers,
 
Mike
