Tynemouth fish quay

​On a chilly and windy evening on Thursday 6th June, a group of hardy members (other than one who turned up in his customary T-shirt!) met at Low Lights Car Park to spend time photographing the scenes at and near the Tynemouth Fish Market.

​There were a variety of subjects to photograph including fishing boats and gear and Herd Groyne and the The Collingwood Monument in the distance. However, the highlight proved to be an RNLI boat and dinghy which sailed in while we were there. The crew soon spotted us, smiled and gave us something of a demonstration close to the shore. This provided us with plenty of photo opportunities and some laughs.   

​As our AGM took place 7 weeks ago, it was good for our members in attendance to catch up with each other. At the end of a pleasant evening, some went home and some went to the pub. Our next summer meeting will be at Newbiggin Church Point on the evening of Thursday 20th June when we hope to spot and photograph dolphins. All are welcome to join us.
