CANCELLED.

Autumnal colours around the Macedon Ranges are popping!!

Peter Ryan has offered to guide members around the Malmsbury Botanic Gardens and, whilst there, will show you a tip or two about Panning;

Because we cannot predict when the colours will change, Peter has suggested more of a pop-up style with dates to be advised, but may possibly be on 16th May. Please keep an eye and ear out for when this may take place. Peter will post on our FB page and Jeni will send an email. For those interested, please contact Peter Ryan (peter@peterryanphotography.com.au).
