Would you please be kind enough to circulate details of a trip to Stonehenge on Friday 17th September. There are a limited number of places and there will be a maximum of 20 photographers.  It's a great chance to share an evening out, and get inside the stones to do some photography.

If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible chris.neillgriffin@gmail.com and if you are a EH/NT member I will need to know your National Trust/English Heritage membership number.

The cost is £14.50 or £11.50 to English Heritage/National Trust Members.


Any questions please let me know.

With thanks, 

Terri & Chris

David Noton's Photographic and Travel Roadshow

David Noton's Photographic and Travel Roadshow to be held in Andover this November 10th.

David is a worldwide renowned landscape and travel photographer who has been passionate about photography since he started 24 years ago. He has been running his Roadshow for over 2 years now. The show lasts 2 hours using Davids images from all areas of the world, google earth world maps re locations, music, video footage of David in the field with room for viewers question time.

People who have attended before shared with us how much they enjoyed the images with high definition projection accompanied by David's travel tales, technical know how and humour. This has led in some cases to a change in approach to individuals photography and even the hasty press of a mouse whilst planning the next trip! Most of all viewers said how uplifted and inspired they felt.

I have included here a flyer to share with your members to inform anyone who may wish to come along. You can view David's WORK and obtain TICKETS from David's website www.davidnoton.com student tickets at a reduction.

Any queries please do not hesitate to call us at the office on 01963 250061.
We hope to meet you there.

Thank you for your support.

Wendy Noton

Mottisfont Exhibitions

One of the photographers exhibiting at the Winchester Discovery Centre is local wildlife and landscape photographer, Paul Sansome. He gained a "Highly Commended" for his "Terns in a Queue". I mention this because Paul has a one man exhibition starting at Mottisfont Abbey, tomorrow - Saturday 31 July. The exhibition runs until Thursday 12th August. Note that Mottisfont is not open on Fridays.

I have just come from assisting with the set up, and it's a stunning exhibition.

If you are a National Trust member then entry is free - otherwise normal Mottisfont NT admission charges apply to gain access to the gardens, river walks, house and exhibitions. There is even a new ice cream parlour!

Mottisfont is actually a good day out for all the family. They also have a very interesting Beatrix Potter exhibition at the moment of some of the original watercolours she painted to illustrate her books. Evidently these paintings are only exhibited every ten years or so!

Another one for the diary - Andover Split Image Photographic Society will be exhibiting at Mottisfont later this year - Saturday 28th August to Thursday 2nd September.

Roy Brophy
