This is approaching fast now, we still have some tickets available.
£10 in advance or £12 on the door.
This covers entry for both days.
So come on don't be shy, why miss out on what will be a very informative
week-end?, and of course the chance to put faces to Avatars
And don't forget to bring your camera's.
Payment for tickets purchased in advance will be by bank transfer only –
you must email yvonne@talkphotography.co.uk for details and once payment is made,
a confirmation email will be sent. Your email must contain the following details:
· Forum user name
· Full real name
· Number of tickets required
Doors open at 9am for the contributes to get set up.
Doors open at 10am for the members.
The original thread with the details of the time place and date are HERE
And according to Google the post code is LU6 2LG
but just head for Whipsnade zoo, (its that close) and there will be signs out on the day(s)
We are doing things slightly different this time; as there are some incredibly talented members on TP we are keeping it largely “in house”
More importantly, there will be plenty of opportunity to use your cameras, as well as chat to other members.
We will have members doing tutorials, talks, guided practical sessions and general hints and tips for photographing “subjects” throughout both days.
There will be models (Human and non-human) for you to practice on as well as a variety of skills and techniques on offer.
Basic food will be available both days.
Tea coffee soft drinks & snacks, such as crisps, cake and some sandwiches.

**Up Date**
Unfortunately due to personal circumstances beyond his control
Matt (@MWHCVT ) aka the Night school,
is unable to attend.
He is obviously very upset to to think that he has let everyone down, and to miss the event of the year.
As some recompense has very kindly offered to sponsor a competition after the meet.
This will involve you all posting your best shots from the Mega meet, (of anything at all)
and will be in the form of a members poll, the winners will be decided to 3 places.
The prizes are well worth having, so again don't forget to bring your camera's folks.
And thank you Matthew for your very kind gesture.
Another apology, just in.
Unfortunately, due to a last minute "personal crisis" the
company supplying branded goods ill not be able to attend either.
Sorry folks.
