One of the highlights of the 3rd September 2010 and a hyperbole will undoubtedly be the “President’s Night” that incidentally will take place in the Old School, in Nettleham and NOT in our usual Club room at Nettleham Village Hall. I am sure this is not a ploy to prevent over crowding (as I have given up the idea of renting a crowd) but merely to confuse any enemies from stealing a march on my presentation!

Another event coming highly recommended takes place on the 9th to 12th September are the Lincolnshire Heritage Open Days 2010; there will be over 85 events and all free, (as indeed is the “President’s Night”) The theme this year is “Lincoln at War”, several disused airfields, bunkers and walks along the costal defences are all there for inspection together with military vehicles and war-time memorabilia. There is also an “Ops Museum Tour” at Digby with free visits to an operations bunker and at Coningsby Moorside Farm there are Classical Motorcycles and War-time memorabilia on display; plenty to photograph if you have the means and legs to get around all the venues.

For those of a less bellicose nature, why not try Doddington Hall and Gardens or Fulbeck Manor for 400 years of Portraits- no studio lighting in those days.

Our County has a wealth of history in all its many forms and I am sure we can find something to capture the imagination and bring in those stunning images that Bob and Hazel require for the PAGB Print Competition to be held at “Connah’s Quay Soon.
