Please come along and support this fun event, either as a contributing photographer or to vote for the best images our members have taken. If you want to take part, just bring your slides along and / or put your digital images onto a CD or memory stick as we will provide a PC and slide / digital projectors.

We'd like to offer a special vote of thanks to Steve Gensler for donating the AirTrans trophy, which is awarded for best slide at each year's competition.
