Saturday Tog Trip
We have been planning a day out this Saturday 10th of July and the general consensus was to meet about 1pm to spend the afternoon and evening at a location to be decided. We have included the evening in the trip as this allows for better photography with better lighting conditions as opposed to a morning start when the light is to intense with the sun over head.
We could have pub grub early in the evening and possibly move to 1 or 2 locations.
Eric Jim and myself are all ready to go with batteries fully charged,we need to know definites straight away to organise travel arrangements
Pip has suggested some local sites (Shackerstone canal, boats, railway, bridges) sounds good!!or there is stratford upon Avon or Birmingham city centre and the canals,all not to far away. or anywhere else not to faraway if anybody else has got any ideas
The weather forecast is getting warmer,so beer money essential,ya best shorts and some film in them old Nikons!! A sense of humour is imperative!!
Post tonight on this blog or asap or ring Eric or Steve to let us know if you are coming?
Wed evening at Alrewas
The Alrewas Memorial arboretum is open this Wed late until 10pm,it normally closes at 5pm. A great opportunity to get some nice late night photography around this large site. A lot of interesting sculptor's, monuments, silhouettes and sunsets,beautiful flower meadows etc. Eric is definitely going,ring Eric for meeting time
Sounds good, should be able to make it.
ReplyDeleteWhere and when do you want us to meet ?
Sat trip
ReplyDeleteI'm in for Sat trip. Sunset won't be till around 9.30pm. Birmingham town centre could be good. There is a Steve McCurry exhibiton on at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery that I'd like to see. It's on till 17 Oct tho' so no probs. Was thinking Shackerstone more for if kids and dogs want to come for a daytime trip.
Wed night. Just spoken to Ruth. Plan so far is for me to pick up Sue, then Ruth, then Ecca. I'll have one seat spare if some one doesn't mind a lap seat belt or Ruth will take the Galaxy. This is weather dependent.
Love Pip x
What a great Idea, Brum would be fantastic. But we've got a local camping thing going on.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time.
Up for the arboretum on Weds!
I am up for both events. A lift would be good for me on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to wednesday night, would suggest meeting at 6:30 at the arboretum, this is the earliest i can get there, but could come and meet up at anytime otherwise.
If going to Brum on Saturday would suggest leaving about 11 (Meet my place?)and should be able to park for free by Millenium Point.
Looks like brum is the favourite at the mo, I'm up for that,it has something for everyone, museums art galleries,architecture,canals,parks and good pubs.Can we all make 12 noon meet. possibly at Erics or another meeting point to be decided
ReplyDeleteOk is everybody up for brum on Saturday? we can all meet at Eric's house at 12 noon. So far we have Pip Jim Eric Steve Pete and Bec said she'd like to join us. We can pick bec up on the way to brum if she still lives at Alrewas. Let me know on this blog or drop me a text if all ok
