This, That and the Other

We are therefore using an alternative venue at the Avoncroft Museum of Building. We will be using their Long Room which […]

Hi All, A big thank you to Dave Riddle and David Jellie for sharing their expertise with the editing programmes ‘Fast Stone Image Viewer’ and ‘Affinity’.

The idea behind the evening is that we provide some blocks (props) and lights and you then build a creative masterpiece. Once completed you put it up on the club facebook page and you never know you could be
