Due to an overbooking the proposed visit to Manchester Monastery has been re-arranged to Sunday 5th July.
The Monastery has kindly offer complimentary tickets for tea/coffee and Monastery Cake as a gesture of goodwill to the attending visitors from SMCC.
The plan is to get there for 10:30am…private tour, photographic opportunites, Q&A, etc…refreshments before the main doors open to the public.
Furthermore the intention is to hold a competition to be judged by the Monastery for the best photographs to be featured on their website…further details to be announced but please check out their current website

Hi All
Will confirm 14th with them on monday
Also going to ask him to put on tea and biccies in the price seeing as circa 20 people going.
I want him to do the full history of the place which is really interesting but he tried to tell me that camera clubs were only interested in taking pics.. We are not all anoraks.
We can’t get up to the balcony directly opposite altar for ‘elf and safety’ reasons. Apparently a wooden staircase leads up to it and someone might spark a fire in the mad rush to get the best photographic position.
Cest la vie eh!
Still lots to shoot there though.
Anoraks will need tripods.
