PORINGLAND WOMEN'S INSTITUTE

Mr Brian McKenzie certainly lifted our spirits with his marvellous still slides which he projected onto a large screen.  Each subject went into a seamless mode with either commentary, funny captions or appropriate music (this is not an easy job).

His programme first started with dramatic close-ups of birds of prey in flight.  This was followed by barn owls taken at South Walsham Fen, then stags rutting at Richmond Park in Autumn.  He also featured ones called Animal Magic, Sandringham Horse Trials,  bird life at Snettisham (look for very high tides coming into shore for best views). 

He finished his programme with shots of the Lake District with the music of Claude de Bebussy's "Clair de lune" (one of my favourites) in the background - magical.  Altogether very enjoyable and our admiration for his photographic skills was expressed by members at the end.

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 9 May at 7.30pm in the Community Centre.  This will be our Birthday, so after the Resolutions have been discussed, there will be a buffet and social with games.

Visitors are always welcome and if there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
