            ∙       Members' Image Discussion – After the Break

                    Following up on the constructive feedback from last month's meeting, where committee members shared their own images, 

                    we’re introducing a new proposal for this month. 

                    All members are invited to submit two of your own images that you have taken, 

                    without editing, to give everyone a chance to share thoughts, ideas, and possibly receive  

                    helpful suggestions.

Please note: The purpose of this practice is not to offend or mislead anyone. Rather, it offers an  
                    opportunity for open and respectful feedback, where all members are welcome to comment  
                    and engage.

                    Deadline for Submissions: Midnight, Sunday, 9th March. (by dropbox)

                    The images may either be brought to the meeting on a USB memory stick, or submitted  
                    beforehand using the following link:

                    We look forward to seeing your images and engaging in a constructive discussion!
