Hello

Are there any Birmingham groups?

I don't drive but am near the city in Digbeth.

Many thanks.

Unfortunately, no! One was tried but it fizzled out.

I keep meaning to go to the Birmingham Flickrmeet (2nd Sunday each month). So far, fate has conspired against me (or I have chickened out - take your pick...)

Ha! That's my only worry- I tend to be a loner!!!

Having said that I would love the motivation of a meet...

I live about 30 miles south of Birmingham, but I would be prepared to come in for a meeting of forum members (by car or by train).

I would prefer to have a meet with a specific purpose, rather than just saying let's meet for a chat/coffee/drink.

What do you think Mac (and any others in the area)?

A night shoot would be an interesting idea (always feels a bit scary doing that on your own...) Or we could join ourselves onto a Birmingham Flickrmeet. A Pentax takeover!

Why not try meeting informally at "Focus on Imageing" as a few of us did a couple of years ago, just to say hello. I'm sure some members could arrange a day and time to meet up.
CHEERS Vic.
PS. It's at the NEC. Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

THanks Vic

Sadly, I would not have the money for FOI. It's also not my cup of tea. I would be a light nylon anorak in a sea of fur!

ps-- how the hell do you find flickr meets!?

Focus on imageing. Register early. Tell them your a pro. and it's free.

The Jockey Morris Men are performing on their Annual Plough Tour in the city centre on Sat 12th January, starting at 10.30am.

If people are interested in using that as an excuse to meet, I can find out full details.....
