Thu 25 Sep 2025 - Preparing for competitions followed by images I like
Advice on how to prepare for club competitions, helpful to new members and a refresher to those who have been members for a while. The second part of the evening we ask members to bring an image or two that they like. These are not necessarily competition quality images but one you like and tell us why you like it. Maybe it reminds you of a happy time, makes you smile when you look at it, the reasons does not matter. Hope to see a good range of genre which mean something to the authors.
