THE nights are drawing in, the mornings are staying dark – and it’s beginning to

look a lot like Christmas.

This point of November is always a strange time of year.

Should I put the decorations up yet? What do I wear? What will the weather be like?

At least our Camera Club members know what they are doing.

Those interested in joining the club can do so at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/basingstokegazettecameraclub.

Photos posted here may be used in the Basingstoke Gazette and its respective publications, websites and social media channels. By posting pictures in the group, you give consent for publication. Portraits, landscapes, wildlife shots, human interest images and news pictures – we welcome it all.

This is not a competitive page – it is simply for fun.

Not all photos make it into the paper.

Each month, we set a monthly theme for our budding photographs to work to. For December, we have chosen 'festive faces and places'.

In the final edition of the Basingstoke Gazette for 2020 we will publish a selection of theme images as well as a special double-page spread of the images from throughout the year. Remember to pick up a copy on Thursday, December 31 .
