Mon 02 July 2007 Photography outing to Worden Park, Leyland. Heavy rain and dark clouds through most of the day didn't deter the hardy group of members who turned up. The rain had stopped but the dark clouds still hung around. It was still very pleasant and we were fortunate to have Chiarn with us to brighten the surroundings.

5th March 2007 More information has come in
about the hoax. February’s edition of the Amateur Photographer has the whole story; which you might like to read: http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/No10_petition_fuels_photo_rights_confusion_news_110568.html Google for “petition photography restrictions” and it soon becomes obvious that firstly, there’s no truth in the rumour and secondly, an awful lot of people have been taken in by it. Thanks to Glyn Davies for sorting it out. |
