Official Club calendar 2024 – July photo

During 2024 we are presenting the image from the Club calendar in the newsletter for that month, with some details about the picture, including when and where the photo was taken. This month we feature the beautiful sunset Lancaster picture taken by Club member Jon Pear, which we used for July.
