Following temporary relocation the club suffered a loss of membership and is keen to reverse this in 2004/2005 when the new season starts at 7.30 pm on Monday 20 September 2004 at Hugh Ripley Hall. Among the highlights of the new season will be a lecture by John Gardner (a semi-professional wildlife photographer specialising in high quality nature and landscape photographs) on Monday 7 February 2005 at 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm (a charge will be made for this event). More details will be available on the website in due course of this and the rest of the 2004/2005 programme at http://www.riponphotographic.co.uk. The society is also hoping to hold an Annual Exhibition in Ripon Town Hall on 4/5 September 2004 and is currently trying to raise funding to do this.
Mrs Maria A Hyde, Secretary, Press Secretary and Treasurer, RCPS
