Likewise, if you’re unable to attend on the day and would like to follow the service online let me have your name and email address.

On Friday 28 June, Colin Trowe-Poole FRPS, FIPF, MPAGB https://www.colintrowpoole.com will present a Mono and Infrared print talk. Colin says, “ As an avid monochrome worker I enjoy the simplicity that the black and white image affords. I believe that by removing colour, the focus is shifted, distractions are minimised and viewers impressions are altered. My goal, wherever possible, is to create drama, mood and narrative power.”
Comic Con Midlands https://www.comicconventionmidlands.co.uk will be at Telford International Centre this weekend, 15 & 16 June. I’m sure you’ll see some of the participants in Southwater between the exhibition centre and Telford Centre if you don’t want to spend all day at the event.
