August Club Walk
As is usual for the club, we didn’t have a meeting at the Ockbrook Hall in August, but instead met up for a walk around Darley Abbey and Darley Park. Given that this was in the middle of the main holiday season, this was a very well attended meeting and although the light wasn’t brilliant,…

They didn’t have to be recent images and the response we received was excellent, with 16 people submitting 3 images each. The wide range of images was great to see, and they…
Yorkshire Dales ~ Nov 2023
Our winter photo week away this year was in the Yorkshire Dales. We were to be located at HF Newfield Hall near Malham which was central to all the areas we wished to visit over the three days we were there. Having said we would be there for three days, there is the journey up where…
