Carleton Grange is holding its annual “bonfire night party and firework display”. The doors open at 6pm, the fire is lit at 6:30 and the firework display will start shortly after. This will be a well-attended event and parking will be at a premium, so early attendance is essential. The display takes place in the garden to which the general public are not admitted, the centre are going to cordon off an area in the garden for club members to take photographs they are also permitting us access to the flat roof at the top of the building, which is not for the faint-hearted and will require you to be risk aware!

Our very own Tony Walsh will be presenting some of his unique styled images many of which are created from subjects most of us would not see. This will be a fascinating evening.

Bill Ward is making his second appearance at our club and will be showing us some of his style of photography that he takes during his down time, when not acting. His previous presentation to us included ICM, longer exposure and closeups of water as well as other genres of photography. A fascinating speaker who provides advice and help with your photography.
