Once again lovely work being done around the country.   Click on these links for the junior, senior and web site winners and view all the images and the stories attached to the winning images as it is inspirational to read how and where the authors took the images.

MEMBERSHIP – It is that time of the year coming up soon when your membership fees will be due but unfortunately some members still have not paid last year’s membership fees. This could be due to you not having received the notices which means that perhaps your details have changed and you did not inform our Membership Secretary.   PLEASE can you check with our membership secretary, Ria Katzke that your details are correct on our system if you feel you did not receive reminders etc., for this.   THANK YOU, we appreciate you doing this as we hate to lose you as members of our Society.
