So I went to the Cripplegate (love that name) camera club last night.

Didn't start off too well as my constantly failing sense of direction took me down some dingy wee street between two housing estates. But once out the other side and all the way back round to were I started from (using the lovely well lit streets this time) all was well.

There were four other new people there last night so I didn't feel too conspicuous. The camera club is populated by the usual array of camera geeks and amateur photographers. There was the usual quota of odd looking wee men. I'm sure one of them was wearing a deerstalker and I did get chatting to a steam enthusiast. Unlike the Cambridge Camera Club there wasn't a host of little old ladies, I'm not sure where they hang out round Cripplegate on a Tuesday night.

Anyway, they all seemed to be nice people and thats the important thing. I think I'll go again next month.
