Training Weekend

John Denton in Jersey

Returning for a second successive year John Denton is bringing an all new series of demonstrations and talks to Jersey.

More than that, the weekend is a wholly hands-on experience with plenty of shooting opportunities for taking images and having them critiqued as we go.

John and the Societies team will be arriving in Jersey on Friday 12 April and staying at the Radisson Blu on the seafront in St Helier. If you'd like to join them to say hello they will be in the bar from around 7pm and be delighted to have an informal meeting ahead of the weekends work.

Saturday 13 April
Sunday 14 April

Last chance to book the Radisson at the special rate we negotiated for our delegates. Remember it's £99.00 per room, per night and includes breakfast. To book at this rate please quote SWPP when booking: 01534 671100.
