This Saturday the Imber bus Event is running again. It gives you access to the village of Imber which is only open to the public a couple of times each year.

It’s a great photographic opportunity and you get to ride on vintage Routemaster London buses as well as other vintage buses. It is likely to be very popular so you might find it difficult to get images without people in!

This Thursday is Maundy Thursday so the church hall is unavailable to us. However we will be meeting up in Bath for an evening photoshoot. There should be plenty of opportunity to take photos of several different genres, low light, long exposure, architecture and people if the weather is kind to us, and if not some images for one of our competitions planned for next year – bad weather.

We will be meeting at the Abbey square at 7:30. For member wishing to car share, Kevin, George and Jeff are driving and have offered spaces, so please contact them.

Members of the Facebook group and non-members are also welcome to come along and see what we do as a club.
