Tonights Camera Club was slightly different to normal in that members brought in a memory stick containing up to three images for showing to the members, and giving a chance to comment on other peoples work.

u3a Monday occurs in the 4th week of the month. It’s the day I have two u3a sessions; Stargazing in the morning, and History in the afternoon.

IContinue reading “1936 – Out & About in Gosport”
