Wanted

Monday, May 20th, 2013
  1. We need someone to plan+lead the next photowalk (June 1st). Check the 2013 route map [http://bit.ly/UqtNgr] to see where we’ve been recently (and avoid those areas!); there’s also a map of all the past years [http://bit.ly/161qua2]
  2. My badminton club’s annual competition is May 25th – is anyone interested in shooting for them? Competition info is @ http://www.badinto.com/queenscup.htm
    If you’re interested, I’ll put you in touch with the club president who can fill in the details.

Under attack

Friday, September 14th, 2012

The TOPW website is currently being bombarded by a spam-bot, so I have disabled all comments for now. Unfortunately the site may be slow until the attack ceases.

Update: I think the attack is over so I’ve re-enabled comments and I’ll keep an eye on how the site performs.

Spring Bird Festival, May 12+13

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

Date: Saturday May 12th, and again on Sunday 13th.

OK, pay attention now – there are multiple options:

1) join (as a participant or help us lead) the Nature Photography Workshop; there are two workshops (9:30am and 2:30pm); each is 1.5 hours long; participants must sign up on the Festival’s registration page. *Note: this is Saturday (May 12) only.

2) “regular” photo walk starting at 10am Saturday, heading through Tommy Thompson Park, down to the lighthouse and back again, ending at a (yet to be determined) pub.

3) the same “regular” photo walk starting at 10am on the Sunday

Whichever option you pick, please note that there are very limited facilities at the park, so (a) bring lunch, and (b) check where the washrooms are and plan accordingly! [map] Note: pets are not permitted.

It’s going to be difficult to describe where the group is if you want to join us later in the day but we’ll try to work something out.
