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!
