FIRST THURSDAY CLUB
(AUTUMN LEAVES)

In June we were entertained by David Bailey
Wildlife Photographer. David did not train as
a photographer and took it up as a hobby
where he could pursue his interests in Wildlife.
It was through this and meeting up with
wildlife photographers he took up his craft.
He honed his skills of observing animals getting in the right position being very,
very patient; he has amassed a collection of wildlife pictures. David has put
together an excellent presentation of fabulous pictures, developed his speaking
skills, printed books and cards and now works as a professional.

I hope all those who came were delighted with the afternoon which was as usual
followed by tea cakes and sandwiches
L o o k i n g a h e a d o u r
advertised speaker is away
and the replacement
speaker we had arranged is
unwell At the last minute I
have arranged for Hilda
Montgomery to show us
pictures and telling us tales of
when she swam with the
penguins in the Galapagos
islands a few years ago. This
is a colourful and interesting
talk about another world
In August Ian Ventham is giving us a talk about the trip he and Diana went to
India. This is different and they took off away from the usual tourist India and
went on a search for Diana’s family who served in India. This will be a very
personal travelogue dealing with family and British history and of course the
experience of India
