On Friday 13th February, four intrepid club members (Sue Anslow, Bea Von Der Haar, Graham Porrit and Nigel Goode) braved the 95% rain forecast for a visit to Cardiff City Centre.
The day started with shots of the architecture in Central Square, moving on to the arcades and then a visit to St John The Baptist Church in The Hayes. After Lunch at Pillars Restaurant our group moved on to photograph the buildings around The National Museum of Wales and Alexandra Gardens. All in all an excellent day, (except that the train broke down on the way back), with not a drop of the promised rain.
