This week we had one of the L&CPU Folios to view. These are made up from some of the best work submitted to the main L&CPU competition of the year. This takes place in May and attracts thousands of entries from perhaps 60 of the 96 member clubs. We were fortunate this year in having […]

Season Off On A Flying Start
We started the 2014-15 season last night with a talk by a good friend of the society, Ian Stewart ARPS DPAGB. Ian has judged for us many times but last night he entertained us with his talk on wedding photography. As I said in my introduction you did not have to be contemplating “doing” a […]
