Sunday 20th August WPS Trip to Weston Super Mare With an early start and car sharing to minimise travel costs, join us and enjoy a traditional WPS outing with plenty of different locations and styles of photography to discover. Why not also make this a family day out but sneak the camera along to capture the day? You will be free to roam in the morning, meeting at lunchtime for a pre booked fish and chip lunch (alternatives are available!) and then either stroll on the beach, sunbathe or head off and do your own thing. If there are sufficient numbers a minibus can be arranged so please let Carol know so she can assess if booking a minibus an option. Carol Bailey and Ian Williams are the coordinators.
