Overview

A recent survy identified that some members were interested in short rambles where the emphasis was on opportunities to take photographs rather than any set distance. It was thought that an evening walk was probably best as the light conditions are often favourable. The first is around the lake, buildings and countryside around Melbourne. The actual route is flexible and will reflect the weather and interests of those turning out. It is not a competition, only a chance to meet others with similar interests and perhaps a pint afterwards in a nearby pub. We will meet at 7pm near the church. There is ample parking.
