Hey everyone,

I was told there are plenty from Manchester here!

Is anyone meeting up in the coming weeks or maybe some people would like to organize a meetup in town?

 

[Michael Markey]

Yep ...about half a dozen of us.
Nothing coming up this weekend but Bob France has drawn up a list of events for the summer.
We will be in touch.

This Sunday sees the Manchester Day Parade. Some of us are meeting up. The more the merrier.

Mmm, not been to a meet for a while - must make an effort...

 

[kuvvy]

Be great to see you again Peter.

Got some great pictures at the parade a few years ago, I haven't been in a couple of years, but it's well worth checking out for anyone in the area.

Sadly I'm not over in Manchester again till Monday so I'll be missing this year's parade

 

[sgtnikolaix]

Never been to this before! I'm up for it though as I don't have anything planned this Sunday 🙂.

Wow a manchester meet on a Sunday, I will try and come along. All I have to do is decide what camera to bring.

 

[Black]

Will check my diary (I'm fairly sure it will confirm I have nothing planned!)

 

[Sparrow]

... mmm ... a maybe, but I need a pink-chit first

... meeting in Piccadilly?

 

[Michael Markey]

Oh go on then ....

 

[rolo]

I'll be there, for sure. :bang:

Most of us have that decision to make Chris🙂. Given the fact Im suffering with two frozen shoulders I'm gonna go lightweight. Taking the Fuji X100 and the new GR.

Hello! Everybody is more than welcome to join us. 🙂

Chris, if you're attending on Sunday, do you want me to bring the DP2 along or are you still planning to visit Littleborough before then?

As for coming events, there are a few on this month but I'm not aware of much in Manchester apart from Manchester Day.

For all those interested, we're planning to meet up at Cafe Ritazza which is just up the escalators in the main atrium in Piccadilly station (near the Sushi place).

We'll be there from 11am till probably around 12noon. Just look out for a bunch of blokes with cameras. 🙂

Bob.

 

[sgtnikolaix]

Anyone planning something for next weekend?

I'm sure everyone could make it with the weather being right 😉

 

[Bobfrance]

Unfortunately I don't think I can make this one Nick, which is a shame because Manchester in the sunshine is a very rare sight!

I wonder, are there any other Manchester shooters lurking out there who might be free?

Bob.

 

[kuvvy]

Not sure I can do this wekend but I''l be there next Thursday (18th). Then hoping to get there on Sat 20th for the Comic Con if I can, as it clashes with the first day of my exhibition.

[Sparrow]
