Members Help

On this page you will find a complete list of our friendly members!  Please take time to fill in your details, especially your photograph so that we can recognise each other.

First names rather than ‘nicknames’ are also appreciated – I don’t know a member called ‘happy snapper’, do you?    Let us know who you are. ‘Sue’ or ‘Phil’ is so much friendlier!

Follow one-another, that way you will know when our members have captured the perfect shot, or commented on someone else’s work. Make sure you ‘connect’ to each other as well – look out for your  invitation. Once connected, you will be able to message one-another in ‘real  time’ and really feel part of our group.
