March 2008 Meeting

Our next meeting is at the Hillcrest Sports Club on 4 March 2008 at 7pm. We look set to have a very interesting meeting with Peter Duffy as the ‘guest of honour’. Peter has been a photographer in Durban for many years, having specialised in news and social photography. Adding spice to his talk will be the fact that he has served under Major Mike Hoare on a number of occasions, including the ill-fated trip to Seychelles.

We will also view and discuss members’ pictures as usual. The set subject for the evening is Transport and there’ll be a voucher up for grabs for the best set subject or outing picture.
