Where did the summer go to?  Hope you all had a good break and that those of you who managed to make it to the various outings had a good time.  It certainly looked so from the pictures on the website, and the OffShoot Facebook and Twitter pages.

So this Monday we’re back to the routine of meetings.  As Ian mentioned in his email, we will be reviewing the Autumn program and looking at your images take over the summer. 

Please let us have 2 (max 3) images (THESE ARE NOT FOR THE COMPETITION). The upload for that is separate as noted in the Competition Section below. 

Please upload the images for the ‘show and tell’ on the 2nd to https://www.dropbox.com/request/THKYNoiqOQUxmcBBGptM.

We will collect images off USB on the night but it is much easier to manage if you upload these before the meeting to the link above.
