Films and papers will be developed and the ring of fire will be going.
Bring your own pinhole cameras and lunch and drink. If you would just like to come and watch that’s fine too. All welcome, however non- members of the club should advise us if coming so we have an idea of numbers.
There will be expert pinhole photographers to help you along. We look forward to seeing the amazing and wonderful cameras and photos that you can make. So come and enjoy the day.
