On the 20th February KERRY DUNLOP, a professional motor sport photographer showed us how he uses his digital equipment to capture the action, which was a very enjoyable evening and made us all want to go to Lydden or Brands Hatch to catch the action! 

The following Monday 27th February, will be our 4th Slide Competition of the season., followed o­n the 28th February BATTLE OF THE PRINTSâ€? Hosted by Malling Photographic Society. Six prints each from eleven clubs in competition., where we hope to do well!
