Local professional wildlife photographer Mark Sisson will be the club's keynote speaker for this season, and will be presenting his new talk 'Under African Skies' on Tuesday, May 20. 

This talk will be open to members of the public and, following the success of Mark's previous talk on the Falkland Islands, the club expects it to be very popular. Details of the evening will be announced closer to the time.

The club meets every Tuesday at 7.30pm at Weston Hall at Harper Adams University. Details of the club and the programme are online at newportphotoclub.com.
