[QueensPhoto] Update

[Matthew Dingley]

Another update...I've just spoken to the head of PhoCUS and they've 
asked if anyone who would like to go on the beginners course could go to 
their squash tomorrow (sorry about the late notice) where you can sign 
up - the info they sent me:

...Freshers' Squash in the *Bateman Auditorium* of Caius, *16:30-18:30* 
on *Friday 17th October*, which is a bumper photoshare session with 
membership sales, followed immediately (*18:30-20:00*) by a talk on 
photographing wild birds by Mr Chris Gomersall. Everyone is invited to 
bring along their work, particularly those taken during the holidays. Do 
ask the Porters' Lodge at Caius for directions to get to the Bateman...

I don't think you need to go to the whole squash and they also need 
anyone who can offer some of their time to mentor the beginners at the 
course if possible.
