I refer specifically to the weather. Last Monday was not very promising, and look what a glorious week we had. Today is sunny with some clouds, but the forecast is not brilliant. Wait and see seems to be the motto. The farmers are getting most of their harvest in while it is dry.

Tomorrow is the start of Rye Arts Festival. See posters for details.

Rye and District Camera Club has the Annual Print Exhibition in Rye Community Centre, Conduit Hill, from 10 am. Entry is free. The Club holds most of its meetings in Playden W. I. Hall, so it will be good to have a central location for the exhibition. On Sunday 16th they have an outing to the Working Sheepdog Trial at Sissinghurst Castle park. Good photo opportunities there.

The next club meeting will be on Monday 17th at 7.30 pm in the W. I. Hall. This is “Quick Shots to Great Shots.”
