This Friday, 7 July we will have a club visit to Southwater, Telford http://www.southwater-telford.co.uk/ to photograph the local area. Meet at 7.30pm outside the Library and bring some money with you in case we go for a drink afterwards. Car parking charges are 50p after 6pm on all the surface car parks around the Town Centre and £1 to use Southwater Multi-storey car park.

During the summer the club room will be open every Friday for informal meetings. There may be additional photo opportunities during the summer and I will send an email and post information about 1 week in advance. If anyone has suggestions for Friday night visits then let me know.

If you’re thinking of going to Blists Hill over the summer holidays there is a special offer on the Travelzoo website https://www.travelzoo.com/uk/local-deals/shropshire/Other/259686/?dlinkId=2500118&utm_source=localdeal_uk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2500118_html_shropshire_deal%3a2500118&utm_content=2500118 where annual season tickets are £15 or £12 for overs 60s.
