River Severn Project

ENCOUNTERS WITH THE SEVERN

We've done a great sort through what we have already and are starting to edit ready for a photobook. However, there are some remaining areas that we would like some further images to fill gaps. 

They're listed below. If anyone has anything suitable in their catalogue or are planning to go near the areas when they might capture a few images, we would love you to submit them. Email me directly at the email address at the bottom of this if you have.  Or maybe you'd like to go to some of the places and could invite some otrher members to join you. It would be great if you can.

Any questions or ideas then just contact me

It willl be a fun project and will publicise the club abnd your photos

I WANT TO GET WHAT WE CAN OF THESE REMAING IMAGES BY MID AUGUST.

Thanks in advance
