The Leica Fellowship of the United Kingdom
The Leica Fellowship is a flourishing group of nearly 200 enthusiasts who meet twice yearly in different parts of the United Kingdom. A few members live outside the UK and provide an international input to proceedings. A vital link between members is the excellent quarterly Newsletter comprising contributions from members. The latest issue contained my review of the new compact Leica X1 and featured one of my early pictures. Here is the link to the Leica Fellowship website: http://leica-fellowship.co.uk/
