The Covid-19 crisis has meant that it has taken longer than usual to prepare a programme for Musselburgh Camera Club for the 2020/21 season. The Fisherrow Centre, where we normally meet, is not available until further notice, which means most of our meetings will take place by Zoom videoconference unless stated otherwise. After the Fisherrow Centre has opened, our meetings may still be different from the usual format and we may still run some meetings by Zoom videoconference.
Note that we are currently planning to start two weeks later than usual this year. The programme is subject to change at short notice as we learn more about the situation. An extra club meeting has been arranged for September 10th to inform current members of the latest plans.
