Our next meeting will be on 2nd February which will give our lady members chance to show what they’re made of ! NOT JUST FOR BOYS We are proud of the strength of our female membership and tonight they entertain us with their digital image skills.

The following week (9th) DAAN EKSTEEN & ALAN MEEK two of our members will be showing NEPAL – WHERE EARTH MEETS THE SKY With so many Nepalese now living among us as citizens of Folkestone, this is an opportunity to view their homeland and understand something of their culture. This will be followed by Print Competition No. 4 on the 16th February.

In between these evenings, our monthly Practical and Audio Visual evenings will be held where members have an informal get-together discussing photography and practising with the studio lighting equipment, and learning how to do audio visual.

In addition, you may be interested to know that our Club will be holding an Audio Visual workshop on 28th February. Further information can be found on our website.

Our meetings are held at the St. Georges Church Hall, Audley Road, Folkestone (on the corner of Shorncliffe Road, opposite West Station) on Mondays at 7.45pm.

New members are always welcome and anyone interested in joining, please, ring Jenny Barraclough (Press Officer) 01303 245399 or e mail:  jenny-bar@dsl.pipex.com for further information.
