Monthly Meetings
Meetings are held the first Saturday of each month from October through to April at Swansea Town Hall, 95 Lavinia Avenue,, Toronto at 2:30 pm. We meet in the basement in a large windowless room that is excellent for showing both film and digital photos plus videos. The room is large enough to easily hold our usual number but small enough to make speaking to the group like a conversation.
T.M.H.S. members share a strong common interest and look forward to socializing with each other. Keeping in touch and exchanging news, photos or other memorabilia are part of our regular get togethers. Every meeting has a program. Some such as October's Open Slide, November's Video and January's theme are expected parts of the T.M.H.S. year. Additionally we plan programs from our members' particular interests and skills. Many of our members are excellent marine photographers and have made many voyages aboard ships. These make wonderful programs that are heartily enjoyed by all in attendance.
In May we wind up our season at our annual Dinner Meeting. Many members bring guests because we enjoy a fine dinner at Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant aboard MS Jadran prior to hearing a speaker with a topic that appeals not only to our members but a wider audience as well.
