A truly superb evening. I don't think I was the only one who was up late after the talk trying out some  textures I had filed away. Lots of great feedback from club members about Jane's easy going style, making her talk easy to follow. Lets hope for a return visit.

Thank you to Market Harborough for hosting this years annual battle, lets hope we can meet in person next year. Thanks also to the Judge, Steven Galvin, especially as Corby won this year but obviously it's the taking part that matters!

Congratulations to Sheila, who's 'Overgrown came 1st
and Malcolm who's 'Little Tern' came 2nd

February 10th - An Evening with our Chairman Barry Knott 'A Look at the West'
Thank you to Barry for a lovely evening, it was great to look back over his travels to the USA in 1993. Converting these slide images to digital files was a huge undertaking but so worthwhile. Stunning scapes from San Francisco, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.
