The Bricket Wood Gardening Club invited us to display some of our prints at their annual show on 20th August 2023 at Greenwood Park. As we had already had a major exhibition running at the Radlett Centre, we were rather short of prints, particularly as we have not been doing prints...

...Numbers were affected by illness, but a total of eight PSCC members turned up with cameras and tripods for an exercise in taking images in poor light.
