Thu 19 Sep 2024 - Mike's Magic Lantern Show - Presented by Mike Barnard

7:00pm

Some of you may remember Mike from covid times when we had a full Zoom programme.  Mike appeared to be sat in a garden shed but he gave a wonderful talk about techniques in achieving different images. One tip, i remember, was how to make masses of bubbles rise when dropping a strawberry into water.

This time Mike will be attending the club and has a totally different lecture.  I would say one not to miss.
