>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  IMPORTANT NOTICE  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 
Meetings for the 2011/12 season will be held at The Oswestrian, Festival Square, Oswestry. The Oswestrian doesn't open its doors until 7.30pm so if you arrive early you probably won't be able to get in!

*********It has been decided that the club will use Flickr as a means of communicating between ourselves and with the outside world. All members should join the Oswestry Photographic Society group, upload some of their pics and get chatting. We also aim to use it as a way of encouraging members to get together for weekend/evening/social activities so lets have some suggestions. All members and potential members are welcome to join.*******************
