Hi Everyone
A quick reminder that our first Summer programme Walk is on Friday this week. Meet at Adelphi Mill, Grimshaw Lane at 7.00
Hope the weather is nice and that we will see you there.
Cheers Jude.
A reminder that we could do with some images taken in Bollington pubs. Upload them to Flickr with the tag “Bollington Beer Festival”
Bollington Photography Group Summer Programme
We plan to meet twice a month from April to October.
The Thursday meeting will be held at Bollington Printshop. There will be two sections to the meeting. The first part will look at photographs taken on the previous month’s walk and submitted by participants. The second part will be information, hints and discussion relating to the theme of the next week’s walk.
The Friday meeting is a walk. The meeting/start point will be e-mailed to everyone and will be on our web site. (www.bollingtonphotos.com)

This has probably got to be the strangest walk the group will undertake and will definitely be the strangest walk the group will do more than once! Yes, this is the second time the group has ventured along the River Dean!
A brave few members from the festival photography group entered the river at the recreation ground and ventured up stream encountering various forms of flora and fauna on the way.
On the 22nd April we met at “the Crown” and decided to head towards Ingersley Vale to see the demolition work on the mill. Typically we got sidetracked by a footpath sign pointing in a direction that looked tempting and headed off into the unknown. The demolition work has made one part of the footpath impassable so we used our ingenuity and improvised. Eventually we made our way back past Savio House and back to the Poachers for refreshment. A very peaceful and pleasant walk.
