This was a meeting primarily to collect in prints for the 2026 Exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secondary objective was to have some fun on the “Scavenger Hunt” with the theme of “Signs or parts of signs”. Each member could spend up to 30 minutes taking 3 photographs representing the theme, after which they return to transfer the images to the club laptop for projecting to the members attending.

So after a cuppa and a biscuit (or 2) the members were shown each participants 3 images and then asked to vote on what they thought was the best collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
