Tuesday shooting
There will be a Tuesday shoot held on the 13th of April 2010 (soon to be listed on the calendar) which is to test the feasibility of having a mid-week shoot from 6pm and the length of this shoot will be light dependant.

A big thanks to all who shot, provided prizes, helped set up and run the day (including a heater being brought along); and a very Merry Christmas to all!

We hope to carry on supporting you soon!
