Mark your calendars folks, there’s another photo outing coming up.
When: Saturday March 18 — 4 to 6 pm. This time-frame should allow for good late day light.
Where: more on that later
What: Street photography, ie: people in downtown Guelph. I believe this will be a first for the GPG, but with 40.9% of members indicating an interest in street photography, it should be a good turnout.
Cost: none.
Come one, come all, to our first GPG Photo Outing of 2023
Where: Belgian Nursery, just west of Guelph on Hwy 7. When: Saturday 28th Jan 2023 — 9:30am to around 11 am

For those of you who are not familiar with them, please take a look at the Google Map in their website.
• If you are travelling Eastbound on Stone Road West (no left turn lane if you are travelling Westbound), they are in the plaza behind the Petro Canada Gas Bar and Tim Horton’s.
• If you are travelling along Edinburgh Road South, they are the 2nd plaza entrance south of Stone Road West.
In addition to plenty of parking, they have a good range of amazing deserts and more!
Our Espresso Gatherings are informal, social events for members to get together and chat about anything and everything while enjoying good espresso, coffee, tea, and tasty treats.
They are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, alternating afternoons @ 2pm and evenings @ 7pm
I look forward to seeing you at 7pm on Wednesday the 8th.

For our December outing, things are going to be a tad different. We have a wonderful opportunity to shoot the festive lights of Christmas at Sparkles in the Park at Guelph’s Riverside Park. The event runs from December 17 to the 31st, each evening from 5:30 til 9:30pm.

For our November outing, we will be trying another late-day shoot.
Here are the details:
Saturday November 26th — 3:45 pm to 6pm. so far the weather looks promising.
We will meet up at the Basilica of Our Lady, at the top of the steps. We can fan out from that location into the downtown core.
The idea is to make good use of that wonderful late day light, to capture whatever catches our eyes.
For our October outing, we will be visiting the Doon Heritage Village in Kitchener.
Here are the details:
October 15th, with a rain date of October 22nd. 1pm to 4pm. The village closes at 4pm, so there is no chance of staying any later.
