Time: 6:00 pm
Field Trip | Summer Social Evening

One Evening. Five subjects. Five photos…. and a bite to eat!

Date – Thursday 12th June.

Venue – The Gatto Lounge, 3 Gas Rd, Taff St, Pontypridd, CF37 4TH. We have booked the downstairs room from 6pm until they close at 10pm so you’ll have plenty of time to take your photos and also have a bite to eat and a coffee.

Times – Please arrive before 6.30pm to get the five subjects. Then go out an take you images. Please do not miss this part. You must attend the Gatto Lounge to take part. Don’t just get the subjects from someone else.

Parking – We recommend using the Gas Road car park which is adjacent to the Gatto Lounge. Their website says this is free after 3pm but we recommend you check the signs when you arrive. An alternative, though slightly further away is the Goods Yard NCP car park behind the Muni Arts Building. It is accessed via the bus station. Note, there are entry and exit cameras so make sure you pay for enough time. The NCP phone app provides easy parking payments and reduced fees and options to extend parking. (Note, there is also a council owned pay & display car park the far side of the Bowls centre).

The Park – Ynysyngharad park is only open until 8:45pm so go there first if you want images from there.

Food – the Gatto Lounge is providing us with an exclusive area free-of-charge on the basis that we also have a bite to eat. This can be anything from a sandwich to a larger meal. Feel free to eat before you go out to take your photos or when you come back after taking them. The lounge do not mind what time we eat but food must be ordered by 9.30pm.

The Results  – will be announced in the New Inn on Thursday 19th June. We’ve booked the back room from 8pm. They will also be publicsed by email & web.
