2nd January - Welcome and Internal Knockout Competition
Our usual start to the year; a warm welcome, socialising and the fun knockout competition with a slight change. From 2025 onwards prints do not have to be formally mounted (ie 500x400mm mount board). They just need to be fixed to something so they can held up and viewed without bending too much. See you there!
