Tuesday 10th March

Tuesday is 'Movie Nite' at the club, so bring your popcorn, Kia Ora and a comfy cushion!

There will be a selection of classics to choose from including a couple of half-hour films on landscape photography (light and composition) by Charlie Waite, and another short film on, arguably the master of black & white landscape, Ansel Adams. Contemporary art-photography also gets a look-in, Dave has a couple of surprises for us, but I can say no more in case I scare people off!

Website - the winners of the 3rd round Print comp have been added to the gallery and the new 'Member's info pack' pdf containing the updated competition rules and general club info can be downloaded from the 'about us' page.
