Two CAP Day Trips Coming Up

CAP will be running two day trips, one on Thursday, September 19, and the other on Saturday, October 26th.

1. Thursday, September 19

Two photo opportunities will be available on this trip. 

During the morning we will shoot in and around  Norwich, CT. Details are being worked out, but may include such sites as the very interesting town hall and Yantic Falls.

Town Hall in Norwich, CT

Yantic Falls in Norwich, CT

Later in the day we head towards Plainville, CT to photograph at HAY BURR INN HORSE RESCUE. We have made arrangements to photograph horses/donkey at the rescue facility. Sturdy footwear is a rule of the sanctuary. (no heels or sandals) You might want to consider having bug spray. Run by volunteers there is no charge, however CONTRIBUTIONS are greatly appreciated. In addition to monetary contributions, clean cans/bottles and old clothes/shoes are happily accepted. 

2. Saturday, October 26

Back by popular demand is a trip to SOUTHWICK ZOO in Mendon, MA. There are over 100 species in a natural setting at the zoo which includes a 25 acre deer forest and a petting zoo. Since it is near Halloween, the zoo runs a two week special where children in costume receive free admission, but this should not impede our ability to get some really nice photos. We expect the animals to be more lively in the cooler weather. There also may be some fall foliage to enhance our photography.

Admission $22 for seniors (62 and over) or $28 for adults.

Both Trips

YOU MUST be a paid CAP member to attend. Dues are due, so please send your $8 to Jim Dionne at 131 Pembroke Court, Meriden, CT 06450

Please contact Linda Thomas at humbrd001@yahoo,com to sign up. Please include your cell number and the town where you live for organizational purposes.

Further details of both trips will be emailed to those who sign up. Please note the short time line for the September 19th date.
