| July | 4 | An evening to select new prints to decorate the walls of our meeting room. Themes: there is no set theme. However, the room is a function room used for wedding, parties and family events so all images entered must be suitable for viewing by anyone. You may bring along any prints that are ready done, but don’t print any specially as they may not be chosen. We will consider PDIs too, on the night – once chosen they can then be printed. Upload PDIs to portal. |
