Good afternoon!
I hope you've wanted to book a ticket for Luminescence at Swinton Park on Friday 12th December. I just have, and there are still slots available. Andy suggests going for the 6.15 slot, but that we meet in Masham Market Square at 6.00 to car-share - though you can go straight there if more convenient. The weather hasn't been great lately, but if the conditions are too poor and Swinton has to cancel, you will either have the opportunity to come on another evening instead, or get a refund. So you can't lose! But an evening of Christmassy lights in the surroundings of the parkland sounds too good to miss. Your camera will thank you!
And the last club breakfast of the year will be on Tuesday 23rd December at 9.30, this time at The Old Station Cafe, Station Road, Masham, Ripon HG4 4DF. Regulars don't need encouragement to come, but if you've not been before, and can square the time, come and enjoy a late breakfast in good company.
Hope to see you at Luminescence ... and/or our Christmas meeting on the 16th, and/or the monthly breakfast!

Hi all
I hope you've all got tomorrow, the 4th Tuesday in the month, firmly in your diaries as MPC Breakfast Morning. This month it's at 9.30 at Bordar House. As ever, no table has been booked because we never know who will turn up (though some people quite rightly never miss), and unfortunately I can't be there. So could you turn up promptly to grab a table together please?
During the session, could you please have a think about next month.
The 4th Tuesday is the 23rd December. Do you want to meet then? Or another date? Or give it a miss. The decision is in the hands of tomorrow's breakfasters!
The next competition - entries due 5th December - is This Sporting Life. Many of you have said to me - and I had said myself - that it's not a competition for you because you don't 'do' sports photography. But we only get better by challenging ourselves, so I'd encourage you to have a go, even if you only submit one shot. This militant Sport-Hater has resolved to do so, and if I can, anyone can.
And don't forget the next outing, to Luminescence at Swinton Park on the evening of Friday December 12th. Buying a ticket is your responsibility, but please let Andy or me know if you want to come, so we can keep you in the loop about arrangements for the evening.
I wasn't going to propose an outing in January, as the weather is so unreliable. But if anyone has an Indoor Idea, not too far away, such as an exhibition that we might all enjoy together, please say, and we might after all plan something.
Enjoy breakfast tomorrow, if you're going!
Margaret
