Apologies were received from Kim Whyllie, Alan Synnott, Pauline Roberts, Ian Wallace and Andrew Potts.

It was a pleasure to welcome as guests and potential members - Lyn Bryant, Kerry Gouldthorpe, Sue Schreiber and Nigel Kenny. We hope you enjoyed the evening and found it informative too!

Our apologies to Mandy, Ricky and Kelly re our failure to communicate after the display. Our systems are not perfect but you are on the list now.  I hope that Therese Morris is now receiving the updates.

We congratulate those members who contributed photos. for the Seymour Garden Show and thank Kim for delivering them and Ann for collecting them. The composite presentations were awarded 1st and 2nd. prizes.

Field trip to Jamieson - It was decided that since the objective was to capture the autumn colours, the outing should be postponed to a later date when the colours were more apparent. A new date is to be fixed recommended not before  April 27/28. Be aware we have another outing planned for May so we need to avoid close proximity of the dates.Please advise any preferences.


Our thanks to Alan Cole for an instructive presentation on Action Photography.The first Tigers home game is on Saturday 20th. april. If any member would like to try their hand at sport photography,please advise me so that we can meet at the ground and perhaps obtain free entry for the group.
