2. Agreed that the Tuesday session will run from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm. Not a lot of time was a comment passed can reconsider this next time we meet dependant on what programme can be put together.

3. Programme – Alan and William will start to put something on paper to be reviewed by the rest of the group. We all agreed to try to keep it basic to begin with and also to have written material that people can take away. Action – William and Alan to put introductory session together for sub group to discuss next meeting.

4. Publicity- Agreed that Stephen would take the lead on this and we would have to get material out there as soon as possible. Stephen is looking to create an “eye catching” A4 poster and get a number printed in order that we can distribute. This will see Stephen and Brian liaising about the various places to distribute these including, shops, libraries and other outlets. Discussed putting a phone number on it and Brian has kindly offered a pay as you go phone that we can put a £20 sim in and use as the contact phone for interested parties to discuss the scheme.

5. Equipment – Agreed that we would provide cameras on the night if someone came along without one to let them see what different cameras achieved. That will include, phone, compact and DSLRs.

6. New Club Members- Try to encourage new members without much experience to come along to the sessions.
