Our next exhibition - Metroland - Feb to Apr 2010

We now have a date and location for our next exhibition, based on the "Metroland" theme.
We will be exhibiting at Stanmore Library from 6th to 19th of February 2010 with an open evening on 9th February. From this venue the exhibition will move to the Gayton Library, Harrow from 29th March to 10th April.


It will be up to the photographer to interpret this theme as they like. Submissions are required by December 8th 2009. It is our intention to have two selectors with the caveat that very entrant will have at least one work selected for exhibition. We are currently looking at "selecting the selectors" but our aim is to represent the broad width of interests that we have in our group from those that like to explore the edge of photography as an art to those that take a more commercial perspective. Our friends at the Greenwich Group are all welcome to join us.

Middlesex: "Gaily into Ruislip Gardens, Runs the red electric train....."
Harrow-on-the-hill: "When melancholy Autumn comes to Wembley, And electric trains are lighted after tea...."
