TRIP OUT...

How a bout a trip out one Tuesday night possibly on  June 9th, I was thinking of some sun setting photography at the Derwent Reservoir, and to leave the West End car park at 7.30pm.

Any one interested? we'll try to work something out regarding lifts etc... this Tuesday - yes don't forget we still meet for a pint and a chat on Tuesdays from about 8.00pm try to come along...
