Photo Group
Please send 3 photos to Richard Spencer at richard@rhspencer.ca. We have a theme for photos – Pandemic.
We ask that at least one of the 3 photos should be on the topic but the other titles/subjects can be at the discretion of each maker. We hope that asking for only 3 photos will give individual makers enough time to talk about their image, allow enough time for everyone else to comment, start a discussion and hopefully allow us to finish in about 1 ½ hours. We suggest a pause of 5-10 minutes at about ¾ -1 hour. The time of the pause can be decided according to how time is going.
If you would like to join, please contact Richard Spencer for the zoom-link at richard@rhspencer.ca

Wednesday, 3 June 2020 - 7:30pmTravel Group
Lorna and Don Blake will be presenting “Nostalgia Revisited: A Month in New Zealand”. They will take us on their automobile trip through New Zealand from Auckland in the North Island to Invercargill at the tip of the South Island. Their itinerary was planned by the daughter of a Kiwi nurse who befriended Lorna’s parents in the early fifties, hence “nostalgia” in the title. She also arranged fabulous homestays with friends and relations, most of whom they had never met, but who treated them like family. You couldn’t buy this tour, but we hope you can still enjoy it.
