Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Nottingham Flickr Group is an active group of amateur and enthusiast photographers as well as some professional photographers.

For the last 7 years we have held annual exhibitions across various venues in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire with the aim of giving everyone a chance to exhibit their work at great venues with no barriers to getting involved......... it's about art and inclusivity. 

For the last three years we have exhibited at the world renowned Patchings Art Centre on Oxton Road Calverton http://www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk/ and this year sees us back again for Connected 2014: a tale of two cities.

The grand launch event is on Saturday 3rd May between 10am and 4pm with 40 photographers producing 105 images and two great guest lectures from Dav Thomas ('With Trees' book) and David Baker ('Sea Fever' book).

As part of the event we are producing an eBook as a commemorative of the exhibition featuring all the photographic works and some excellent insightful articles about various aspects of photography. This eBook is free as we have always aimed to make it that way as everything is non profit.

What we would like to do however is give something back to the local community in the form of a charitable fund raiser, so to this end we would like to support 'When You Wish Upon A Star' the sick childrens charity based in Nottingham.

Rather than selling the eBook or charging an entry fee for the launch event we would like to give people the option to donate to our chosen charity at a level they wish and only if they choose to.

To this end we would like to ask anyone who downloads the eBook or attends the grand launch event to consider donating anything they feel they are able to, even a very small ammount, in support of the fantastic work of 'When You Wish Upon A Star'
