We always keen to try new things in camera club, so for this event we'll be running a Question and Answer session based on the popular Radio 4 Panel show.

Members will be encouraged to ask the panel for guidance, advise and for help in soothing their photographic woes. The panel member's will be some of the more senior and experienced club members who will have a range of different skills and areas of expertise. To ensure the evening runs smoothly we'll be having a host to receive the questions and pass them on to the relevant expert.(more…)
