Reminder to book for Martin!
Please remember to book your place for the presenta-
tions by Martin Dudley Barber on 11th November at
Groot Constantia — a highlight of the Celebration of Pho-
tography weekend hosted by CTPS. He is an entertaining
and expert speaker who has inspired many photogra-
phers to take their work to the next level — and beyond!
The weekend kicks off with Martin opening the print ex-
hibition, showcasing works from 21 Western Cape clubs,
on Friday, 10th November. Five of the clubs exhibiting
are from schools (who do amazing work!) and 16 are
adult clubs.
