I hope you are all well?

Just a quick email to let you know about an event that we are running with Sony on the 21st of this month.

I can't remember whether there are any Sony users amongst the Society but it would be a great opportunity to learn about the Sony system if interested.

The event is instore, offering instore only deals on the day. We will also be going on live on Facebook three times throughout the day.

There will be two Sony representatives who will be able to answer any technical questions, show off new products, offer live demonstrations and possible interviews.

The Sony reps are keen to interview Sony users/photographers, so if anybody is interested in taking part in that, please let me know prior to the day.

I have attached a poster for the event, if you would be so kind to share it amongst the Society or anybody that you know who might be interested, I would very much appreciate it! 😄

Let's hope that this is the first event which will lead to many more this year, I certainly miss running and doing the events!
