Help

However we can only do this if we know what is going on outside the club.

I am sure that there is someone out there who would like to have their image on the cover and if you would send me an image you have every chance of it being used next week.

If you learn of anything which might be of interest to other members whether it be somewhere to go or something to see please let us know. For general events and photo opportunities please email the details to our events coordinator Steward Ellett. wildprophotos@yahoo.co.uk
