Dear Forum Members A walk of Old Town Poole and The Quay Come and join the staff at Robert White Photographic on a photo walk of historic Poole Quay and Old Town. This is your chance to speak with the staff and take some street style images in a relaxed and casual setting. And best of all it is totally FREE. We have even managed to speak to a representative at Leica UK who will attend the walk with some equipment including Leica S, Leica M Monochrom, Leica X2, D-LUX 6, V-LUX 4 plus more for you to try. We are always being asked where can I take pictures in the local area. So the idea of this walk is for you to see the wonderful part of the country we live in and most importantly for you to take some pictures so please bring your camera equipment on the day. So what is the plan? The walk will take place on Sunday 9th December 2012 and the meeting point is the Robert White Photographic Car Park outside the shop. We plan to meet there around 10am and then drive to Poole Quay. Please note that we are unable to provide transport but hope that many of you will car share. We have decided to park at the Baiter Car park – Labrabor Drive Poole (Pay and Display – please bring change for parking meter) We then plan to walk towards the Quay through the boat yard, Fisherman’s nets and the little Lifeboat museum into the Quay itself where new and old buildings come together next to an incredible array of luxury yachts and boats moored in the harbour. We will then have time to visit the new Twin Sails Bridge and then back into the Old Town area of Poole where you can explore to your hearts content. There are many interesting features here including the Customs House, The Guildhall and the Parish Church of St James. How much time you spend in Poole is up to you. If you wish to stay and do your own thing this is fine. Alternatively the Robert White staff will be opening the shop from 3.00 pm so if you wish to come back for tea and biscuits or to do a bit of shopping or even to chat to the staff or the Leica representative we will be happy to facilitate until 4.30pm. As mentioned this walk is totally free of charge but spaces are limited so if you wish to attend please give us a call on 01202 723046 or send an email to sales@robertwhite.co.uk in both cases confirming your contact telephone number and email address. What if the weather is bad? If the weather is so bad that the walk will not take place we will endeavour to contact you in the morning. Email is the preferred option. Instead we will then open the shop for you to visit to either shop, chat or just to eat all our biscuits! Bad weather opening times will be 10am – 3pm. It would be good tyo see you on the day Jon
