Community photography event/website

This weekend - 26th/27th March - Greenbristol are holding the first of this year's local community events. Photographer Liz Milner has been commissioned to facilitate two photography trails around the NDC area. Liz has lots of experience using photography to explore diverse subjects with community groups. Barton Hill Settlement has kindly loaned five digital cameras for this event. Let's hope the sun shines!

The beta version of the live website - covering the NDC area - will be online by early May for feedback from communities and individuals. The fully tested site is scheduled to go live in June.
