This Friday, 28 June, we welcome Colin Trowe-Poole FRPS, FIPF, MPAGB https://www.colintrowpoole.com with his “Mono and Infrared Print Talk”

Colin says:” I’m an avid monochrome worker and 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 viewer's impressions are altered. My goal, wherever possible, is to create drama, mood and narrative power.”

The following Friday, 5 July is the Club’s AGM night. Please attend It’s a chance for you to make suggestions as to how the club is run and organised.We’re looking for new committee members, particularly a new secretary as Janet only agreed to take the role on for 1 year at the last AGM.
