Wellington meet?

[welly]

In an attempt to expand my social circle and get out shooting, thought I'd put out a shout for a wellington meet if anyone fancies it? My Auckland plans didn't come to fruition due to losing my wallet and having to make alternative plans for the week. But all is good in Wellington!

So who's up for it? :)

[Bailey]

I could be keen, depending on the when and where.

[welly]

When and where.. anytime/place is good for me at the moment! I don't start my new job for a week or so. Whenever is best for you/anyone else that wants to come along!

[Bernzfotos]

You can count me in - whereabouts, date, time to meet. Cheers, Bernz

[Airflore]

I would be interested. Usually I am free most of the evenings and on Saturday.

Have you seen this: http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/WhatsOn/allevents/Pages/CraigPotton4oct.aspx

Craig Potton (a famous NZ landscape photography) will do a talk on Sunday 4th Oct at the Te Papa! It's free! I definitely go!!

[Bailey]

Well I'll certainly be keen on seeing Mr Potton - why don't we do that and then go walkies after?

[welly]

Ah shame. I would love to go to that but I've a prior paintballing engagement with the company I'm going to be working for. What a shame :(

Events page is very quiet. I wonder.
Should we start monthly gathering every first Sunday for Wellys photogs?
Chat over coffee. ;)

[AboHadi]

Good day

I have not been here for a while!!

I will be interested to meet up and "expand my social circle and get out shooting".. Not mention coffee.. I am a coffee-holic!

I am still a beginner though! :)

great photos , what are those round metal ball things ? do they mean anything or just decoration ?

[AboHadi]

It looks like you guys, and girls, had some fun :) (Y)

I wish I was able to join you, but no one told me what the plan is so I didn't know where I would be able to find you..

Hopefully there will be more meetings, and people, to come, so I can join you :)
