Covid-19
All face to face meetings have been cancelled until further notice. We will continue to follow the government advice and will reinstate a conventional programme as soon as possible. However, the Government's bullish easing of lockdown regulations don't seem to take much notice of those that are most vulnerable. The recent increase in the rate of infections in Wales and throughout the UK confirms that we are right to remain cautious. After our trial of Zoom the new committee is working on a programme of virtual meetings for the coming months and beyond until it is safe to meet face to face again. Check here for the latest information and stay safe.
Remember, if there is a speaker you'd like to 'visit' our club let us know.

"Have I Got Nudes for You" Tim Pile ARPS, MPAGB, FIPF, MFIAP "The female form is a beautiful thing, and I try to capture that beauty in my images, using man-made and natural environments. I generally prefer to take pictures that include models, rather than just pictures of models. I have no artistic background, and I feel that my eye for composition comes from having studied Mathematics."
