The winners this month were ....... Drum roll please ......

It was a cold start, but by the time we had partaken of coffee and settled in for the 5 minute ferry ride over to the island the sun was out and it was turning in to a gorgeous day. 10 of us made it to the island and we wandered around the for a few hours having a pleasant time taking in the views, the wildlife and even remembering to take some pictures.

03.01.2022 With all that is going on at the moment with COVID 19, AKA Coronavirus, the club committee have made the difficult decision to suspend all club meetings at the grapevine with immediate effect. Whilst the meetings will not go ahead we are looking at ways to use the website to provide workshop information and to manage the monthly exhibitions virtually so there is no excuse to not take pictures (We should get plenty of inanimate macro images submitted :-) ) We will continue to monitor the situation and will be back at the grapevine as soon as we can and will keep everyone up to date vie Facebook and email.
