I recently got accepted to Penn State Univ.My major will be in wildlife and fisheres.In order to graduate I must take a wildlife photography class.I don't anything about photography.If some one could give me some pointers on a type of camera($200-$250) that would be good for this type of photography I would be very grateful.

Enjoyed your pictures. I don't know how you can sustain four or five meetings a month.We manage two. A main meeting [competitions and lectures] and a workshop night in members homes. It works OK.We also have field trips but we call them outings. We have been going since 1955 and naintain a membership of about 50-60. Congrats on a successful Club.

I have just attended your evening at the Regent Theatre in Palmerston North, N.Z. and SO enjoyed your presentations and arrangements etc.. etc.. I felt thrilled to sing Mae hen wlad fy nhadau with such a glorious choir!! (My father taught it to me when I was 10years old) I conduct a Ladies' Choir "Concordia" in Levin, and am always enthusiastic to hear others' works. THIS was a true inspiration.

While last on your site I did not see all the photos. This time I was surprised to find that Crown Street was in one of the photos, it's the one where the Tabenacl is at the bottom and also it was great to see the actual house where I grew up it was number 19, it's just next to the lane. If there is anyone in Morriston who attended Pentrepoeth School in 1967/1968 and you happened to have been in Mrs Demery's class please get in touch. Please email me rosser_5@yahoo.com I have repeated my email address because the underscore sign does not show up at the start of this email. Thanks again for the wonderful site you have provided. I will visit again when the pictures are updated in December. Regards Julia

swansea has great shops and the prices are down right cheap but some things are very expensive. I do have some comments though, there should be more pound lands and more mc donalds and i have a pretty good idea but that is if you agree anyway my idea is that swansea should get them selves even more famous by making a big store named after swansea that has every type of shop there is to be in side this massive store from sowing shops to car shops and i say that everyone knows about swanseas great things to do.
