Images of Fire ....

This is the page of pictures detailing recent events in the life of the Halesowen Eighteen Plus Group (RIP). Obviously any new pictures of events post 01 Jan 2005 will be listed on the main pictures page.

I ought to apologise for the relative poor quality of some of the earlier pics; they were taken with my digital camcorder and it doesn't really cope with low light levels that well - plus of course it's a camcorder not a camera so the resolution is a little less anyway. The later pics were taken with a series of digital cameras so the quality does get better! Honestly!
