We had a good turnout for our August meeting despite the holiday season and celebrated the theme of Happiness.

Frankie McAllister took us to Pride in Brighton, Robin Segulem on a rail journey – with a few stops along the way, Chris Bellinger with work from around London, Richard Baker-Donnelly to the Ealing Jazz Festival, Damian Walker to street festivals north and south of the river and Sean McDonnell’s was a walk along Oxford Street.
