A Note about your photos.

Members may have noticed that recently we have been using www.photobox.co.uk for displaying our club photographs. Now you can see a brand NEW version of their slideshows without having to log in as a member.

But if you wish to join it is FREE and you can share these photos with others whom you can e-mail with the link. You can also order photos very cheaply from their site direct to your home.

Anyone encountering any problems with this site, please e-mail us let us know the problem.
