Gallery: "News and Views". Photographs are often used to illustrate news items or to make a point - a single picture is worth etc.  So use your imagination to make some pictures which could be used in this way - perhaps commenting on some aspect of current affairs, or to make a point about something which concerns you.

Colt Park is a converted barn belonging to Natural England which they have kindly agreed to let us use. At this time of year the local hay meadows should be at their glorious best, providing lots of opportunities for photography.

The address is: Colt Park Barn, Chapel-le-Dale, Nr. Ingleton, LA6 3JF

What it says on the tin. Bring your framed pictures for the exhibition, or bring your prints and frame them on the day.
