Big News, MW&S Friends!
We’re so excited to announce our first photography exhibition in over 8 years! 🎉 It’ll showcase amazing images taken during our 2024 & 2025 group events.

The main aim of this exhibition is for our members to showcase images taken at our events. Following some enquiries from a few members, and given you are highly skilled photographers, I am adding an Open Section for those who already have at least one image of shots taken at our events. See below for details on the Open Section.
