Club Lunch at Member Brian´s house 21st September 2021Report
Several members and partners were invite to a lunch at club member Brian´s house and were welcomed by him with his wife Barbara. After a stormy night we were all please to see the return of the sun although no-one ventured into the pool adjacent to the lunch table.
Barbara laid on a fantastic spread for us all to tuck into and after lunch we all admired the many splendid views that could be seen from Brian´s quite extensive property. With a journey time of nearly an hour to reach Brian´s house from Los Alcazares we all appreciated the effort he regularly makes to join in with all the many club functions. Thanks to Barbara & Brian for a lovely day out in the countryside
Los Alcázares Camera Club goes up in the world!
Los Alcázares Camera Club was aiming high for their October field trip by exploring ‘Cabezo Gordo’, the mountain famous for its prehistoric caves and rare fauna and flora. Overlooking San Cayetano, a small village just outside San Javier, ‘Cabezo Gordo’ provided a variety of subjects for Club members to photograph from views across to the Mar Menor, to interesting architectural plants along the path and even some climbers tackling the rocky terrain.
After their walk, the photographers enjoyed an excellent lunch at the ‘Lemons and Limes’ Café Bar in San Cayetano where they also recruited another new member for their ranks.
Los Alcázares Camera Club is always looking for new members who can be permanent residents in Spain or ‘swallows’, as the Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month on ‘Zoom’ at 10.30am (Spain) or 9.30am (UK). At this meeting members discuss their monthly photo competition and usually watch a photography workshop video. On the third Tuesday of the month, the Club has a field trip to take photographs followed by a meal to which family and friends are also invited.
