21/22 Mid-Season

We are nearly at the end of December and our season has gone very well, with weekly Zoom meetings. We had a successful Monday evening meeting in Chester to photograph the Christmas lights and shop windows. Nice to see other members in person! With the new Omicron Covid virus and slow Wifi signal in the Whitby Club, we have decided to remain on Zoom meetings at home for the rest of the season (until the end of April 2022). Merry Christmas to you all.

21/22 Season has started

Our 2021/22 Season has started. On Monday 6th Sept we met at the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum carpark at 7:30pm for some low light photography and some Paining with Light photography. It was a warm evening with a nice sunset. A large turnout. Lovely to meet old friends. Also several new members. We are now meeting on Zoom until the end of December.

Successful season

We have just finished our 2020 /21 season. We have not been able to meet in our normal meeting room (President's lounge of the Whitby Club). Instead we have held weekly Zoom meetings on Monday evenings. All well organised. Digital competitions, external speakers and members' meetings. We will hold several summer informal meetings. The next season will start on Monday 6th September 2021. We are assuming we will be meeting on Zoom. As soon as we are allowed, we will hold "normal" meetings in the Whitby Club.
