News

We hope you have had a great Summer. As communicated before the Summer break we are back to meetings in person at the school from Monday. Going forward we will no longer be running hybrid meetings, we will be back to in-person meetings in the school apart from occasions when we have a speaker who needs us to use Zoom, this will mostly be for geographical reasons or for public health government policy reasons.

 

Next Monday Night – Summer Images

Our next meeting will feature members' images, these will fall under two broad headings, the first is images that you took over the Summer, these can be of anything that you might like to show us. 

 

Upload Summer Images here.

 

The second heading is images that you took over the Summer for the Summer Project, there are two different categories for this, one is 'Summer in Mono' and the second is 'Sports & Pastimes'. The idea is that you can create a panel of 4 images to show the group under one of the headings.

 

Upload Summer Project here

 

Please upload the images to the relevant Dropbox folder by Monday (29th August) afternoon at 4 pm or you can bring them in on a USB drive.

 

Club Exhibition Image Collection

Our Exhibition in the DLR Lexicon is finally coming to a close and the images needed to be collected.

 

Please collect your images or arrange for someone to collect your images on 31st August between 4 pm and 7.30 pm.

 

If you are unable to collect your images please arrange for another club member to collect the images.
