    Do you have to be a member of Photoguild NS in order to register for the Saturday (19th) workshop “Intro to Digital Photography”?

    My friend and I are interested but weren’t sure from the info provided whether we can register.

    Thanks for the great workshop. I had a lot of fun doing the afternoon part of workshop.
    The speakers topic in the morning part was just what I need, backed up in the afternoon sessions!
    The only thing lacking was no speakers notes.
