Brendan looking for a shot
More than twenty club members spent an enjoyable and productive evening at a local allotment society. Those who were there early were able to take advantage of the available light and interesting surroundings to take some prize-winning shots. Later tripods were out in force as the light began to fade. The evening was declared a success and thanks were expressed to the allotment society members who not only made us welcome but also provided cups of tea and coffee.
