SUMMARY:February 22\, 2025 (SATURDAY) at 10:00 AM: A Double Header!  Outstanding UK nature photographer\, Joe Cornish\, and  a photo walk in Reading led by Vince Pellegrini\,
DESCRIPTION:– February 22\, 2025 (SATURDAY) at 10:00 AM: A Double Header! \nFirst\, Outstanding UK nature photographer\, Joe Cornish\,\nhttp://www.joecornishphotographer.com/ will share his insights on photographing “Nature” in a special Saturday morning presentation. Joe’s work will have you amazed by its beauty and majesty. Joe states on his website\, “…I am British\, grateful to live in a peaceful country that\, undeniably\, has wonderful landscape. This land has inspired artists\, poets\, composers and photographers for hundreds of years. The cycles of life and seasonal changes are a reminder of the amazing abundance and resilience of natural flora and wild creatures. The unpredictable weather provides an endless and enjoyable artistic challenge. While ecological damage continues (due to industry\, urban sprawl and intensive farming) many schemes have successfully protected species\, and habitats\, and hundreds of campaigning organisations work hard to improve our landscape and ensure access so that it can be enjoyed and experienced by all.” \nWatch Joe Cornish’s presentation in person on the big screen in Suite 326 at the GoggleWorks\, or join from home. This will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. \nSecondly\, this special Saturday presentation via Zoom at the GoggleWorks will be followed by a photo walk in Reading led by Vince Pellegrini\, even if it’s snowing! The plan is to wander a mapped route from the GoggleWorks to McGinty Antique & Classic Motorcars at 1041 Washington Street. Along the way\, we will visit the exteriors of a few beautiful churches\, an architecturally interesting indoor parking garage & some train tracks. The route will be 1 mile each way. This is a fabulous way to get to know other members and try something different with your camera. \nSo that there is an idea of who will be joining us on the walk\, please email your interest to Vince.Pellegrini@berksphotographic.com.

SUMMARY:Sheep and Wool day at Springton Manor Farm &  Iron Pour & Forge Fest.
DESCRIPTION:Next up in our ongoing club outings will be on April 30th. We’re planning on a doubleheader event so there should be something for everyone. First in the morning we’ll be meeting for the Sheep and Wool day at Springton Manor Farm in Glenmoore\, PA. There will be plenty of photo ops of farm animals\, farm demonstrations\, and sheep shearing during the day. The new baby animals are in the barns for the kids to pet\, and as always the Springton goats will be posing for portraits. Admission is free and there is free remote parking with a short bus ride to the farm.  We plan to meet at 11:30 in front of the Manor House which is on your right as you enter the park.  You can get more information about the event schedule and directions to the farm at their website https://www.chesco.org/2307/Sheep-Wool . \nLater in the day we’ll be close to “home base” at the GoggleWorks for the annual Iron Pour & Forge Fest. The Forge Fest is from 2 to 7pm followed by the Iron Pour from 7 to 10pm.  Blacksmith demonstrations\, food and music will keep everyone busy during the day. We’ll plan to meet later in the day at 5:30 to prepare for the Iron Pour at 7:00 where there will be plenty of heat and sparks flying for us to photograph. More info on the festival can be found on the Google Works web site at this address.  https://goggleworks.org/event/spring-iron-pour-forge-fest/  \nSo if you like the soft and fuzzy stuff join us in the morning at Springton Manor then finish it off with the hard pounding anvil action of the Iron Pour. \nHope to see lots of new faces at our next outing.
