Field Trip - Pangbourne Walkabout
Field Trip - Pangbourne Walkabout
Presented by: The Committee
As the evenings get lighter, we venture out into the world and visit Pangbourne for a walkabout photoshoot.
Near Reading, Pangbourne is located on the South bank of the River Thames with the village of Whitchurch-on-Thames on the opposite North bank. The Whitchurch Bridge connects the two villages.
Views of the river from the bridge and along the riverside walk through Pangbourne Meadow provide many photo opportunities. There is a large weir across the river opposite The Swan pub, with a church and a small collection of shops providing a variety of different things to photograph.
Car sharing will be encouraged to help as many members as possible to join this trip and to minimise travel costs for everyone.

Presented by: Corn Exchange, Newbury
cornexchangenew.com/event/dominoes
Thousands of concrete blocks installed by hundreds of volunteers will form a meandering line through Newbury, traversing roads, pavements, waterways and parks along a 1km route.At a pre-arranged signal, the first block will fall, knocking over the second, starting a chain reaction – gaining momentum until the toppling blocks surge through the streets, creating a spectacle that is engaging, mesmerising and witty.
TPC have been asked to photograph the event. Our members will be taking photos of the volunteers setting up the blocks, the public watching the spectacle and the drama of the blocks falling.

A casual evening of food incinerated by the committee, and washed down with a glass or two of your favourite tipple.
A great way to relax and reflect on our year so far.... the photos we've taken, the ones that got away, the projects that we'd like to do, and the kit we want to buy!
This event is for TPC members and their invited guests only.

Field Trip - Newbury Walkabout
Presented by: The Committee
A good old favourite in the warm summer evening... a walkabout photoshoot on the streets of Newbury
Views of the canal from the bridges and along the canal path. The high street and market square also provide many photo opportunities. A high probability we'll also want to search inside a local pub looking for photo opportunities too!!
Car sharing will be encouraged to help as many members as possible to join this trip and to minimise travel costs for everyone.
