Part 1 - AI in Post Processing - What should YCC allow?

Part 2 -What I did off Season (summer) - show us your photos

So obviously we all did something, some of us a lot of things, so now's your chance to share your off season photos.

Steve Banks will come up with a system for you to submit / upload your photos.

Fear not if you're not comfortable in presenting your images then you don't have to we'll just show them and maybe ask you where and when you took them in a light hearted relaxed style in a non judgemental way.

Also before hand we'll have a discussion...
