This month is our Christmas social evening.  We do not have a speaker and will have a short business review followed by slideshows of the field trip to Art Knapp in Courtenay, the Song Titles assignment and a special slideshow from Brad Powell on the club’s grizzly bear outing.

This will be followed by a social and everyone is encouraged to bring some appies or dessert items.  Be certain to take home any of your leftovers.

Our general meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. We normally conduct the club’s business, then review the slideshows from the previous month’s assignment, field trip and favourite shot of the month. The last half of the meeting is dedicated to having a speaker come and make a presentation or discuss some aspects of their photography

This month we are going to the Kathok Centre Buddhist Temple in Errington on Grafton Rd.  Follow these signs to get there:

The centre is charity that provides considerable assistance to needy individuals in the community.  The centre would welcome any donations that we can make personally.
