The 29th March and Brexit will possibly be over and history when you read this so what exiting news is there to look forward to?
Could it be the Model Railway Exhibition with its working models and Railways at Avonway on Saturday 13th April?
Or is it the Fordingbridge Camera Club programme which shows the planned meeting days which are almost every Wednesday throughout our season. Visitors are welcome to attend any of the events listed for a small fee. Creative and Practical evenings are organised by members. As a group they set themselves new challenges and then review the results collectively. “Still Life and Flowers” will be led by Joy and Gemma on 24th April, just in time for spring flowers. Yes, that could be the highlight of April – unless Mr Trump has something to tell us! Or even an illustrated talk on Wild Landscapes by David Boag, author of “The World of a Wild Life Photographer” but this is on 1st May. We are a friendly, go-ahead club and meet at Avonway Community Centre at 7.30pm on Wednesdays. www.fordingbridgecameraclub.org.uk has our programme for the season. It is a mixture of talks by visiting top photographers coupled with opportunities to show your work on the highest quality equipment and have it commented on by experienced photographic judges.
