UK Region North West UK meetings/Events Calendar...

[Bobfrance]

Already added the black pudding throwing to my revised list Peter. 🙂

I'll add the exhibitions too Paul. Well worth putting in the diary.

Keep 'em coming folks!

Good job in organising all this Bob, I'd love to have been able to make the pigeons.

Any chance you can sort out something similar for the stinking south? ;-)

 

[Bobfrance]

I thought you'd be doing that Kully, being the Euro Meet organiser an' all. 🙂

I'd love to head south (or even to the Euro Meet) this year. Money and time permitting of course.

Chinese New Year Sunday 6th February 2011

Chinese New Year Sunday 6th February 2011

Okay gang!

Next Sunday is the Chinese New Year celebrations. Who's joining us in balmy Manchester to take pictures and eat noodles?

 

[Michael Markey]

I`ll try and work up some enthusiasm only because the trains are a bit of a nightmare on that day.
What time were you thinking of kicking off ?

 

[Bobfrance]

Probably meeting at 10am in Piccadilly as usual. I think the event kicks-off around 11am.
You can have it out with the Chinese regarding the poor scheduling of their New Year while you're there Mike. 😀

Lookin' good chaps.
It was a great start to the year and brilliant to get out shooting again. I'm looking forward to getting out again soon.

I posted my two rolls of 120 off yesterday - fingers crossed they come out!

In the meantime here's a few from the M8

Funny but I seem to be getting my best results at night these days. All of a sudden I don't want the lighter evenings back. 😱

All these events ARE in the south. 🙂

Fair point, but never-the-less you're very welcome to join us.
Folk have travelled down from Scotland to join us in the past. 🙂

Thanks, Bob. I'll need to see if I can get a pass from the boss though. 🙂

So far I'm very pleased with it. A very refreshing way of shooting, that brings unexpected benefits. I even like the flarey nature of it's old marked lens. 🙂

 

[Michael Markey]

I like the look ,Bob.
Did you dev them yourself ?

 

[Bobfrance]

Not this time Mike, I had them done at Peak, but I probably will do as soon as I get some chem sorted out.
