Following our AGM we were entertained by Tom Ryan and his presentation on Puddles of Perth, perhaps a confusing title. However we were soon enlightened.
Tom started life in Carnoustie and after working in the USA, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China he and his wife came to settle in Perth. He needed a project and started photographing reflections in puddles in Perth and around the world.
His photography is outstanding and he took us to places such as Boston, Amsterdam, Texas, Mexico and Venice among others.
We now have a break for the summer and our first meeting of 2026-7 is on 9th September and all are welcome

The Guild held a very successful coffee morning on Saturday with the sum of £782 being raised for Guild Projects.
Today we had a stunning presentation of photos by Graham Hood from Everest to South America. We were taken on a trek to the base camp of Everest and the scenery was outstanding.
We then flew to Peru in South America, the highlight being a visit to Machu Picchu. This was followed by visits to Chile and Santiago. A flight over the Andes took us to Patagonia, Angentina, Brazil and back to Peru.
It was a wonderful way to spend a chilly March afternoon.
Our next meeting is on 25th March at the usual time and all are welcome.

Despite the dreich day there was a large turnout for the first meeting of the year.
We were pleased to welcome Margaret Steele who gave us an inspiring talk on her journey from Midwife to Ministry. Her childhood was spent in Dunblane and Turriff and this was followed by a nursing degree and 10 years in Dumfries as a midwife. She then came to Perth and felt at home in the North Church.
However she then felt a strong calling to the Ministry and after completing further studies, she became minister at Uphall where she stayed for over 11 happy years. Next came Ashkirk and Selkirk and finally retirement to Perth.
Margaret is now happy doing pulpit supply, driving access cars, singing and keeping fit by playing badminton among other interests.
Our next meeting is on 28th January and all are welcome.
