What's New
Why I do what I do
Big thank you to Gwynne Harries and Tony Tarlton for their presentations last Friday. Shame we didn't have a photographer in the house this time! Ray is fine, he just got the date mixed up. Not to worry he's got a whole evening to himself later this season.
Don't Forget...
Send your questions for Photographers' Question Time to Mike Davies as soon as possible.
