ASSIGNMENT NORTH SHIELDS
Meeting Saturday 5th February, 10.00 a.m. near the Fish Quay.
DIRECTIONS: there are numerous large brown tourist signs to the Fish Quay which take you to the riverside. You will see a large expanse of open, grey concrete promenade to the right and the white, former lighthouse building to your left and the Fish Quay ahead. The meeting point is here. Nearby is the fascinating Wm Wight store (that, happily for early birds, sells coffee etc). There is ample street parking plus a car park (60p per hour) with public toilets just beyond the Fish Quay area. Lunch is around 12.30 at the Magnesia Bank pub in Camden Street NE30 1NH.
There is a wealth of photography opportunity in this area alone plus nearby Tynemouth Priory and the Victorian Tynemouth railway station (now a Metro) – enjoy!
THE THREE OF US
What a great night provided by Mike Kipling, John Devlin and Brian Jobson – hugely enjoyable and inspiring. Topped off for a delighted Angy Ellis who won a raffle prize, kindly donated by the trio, of a print by John.
