Successful Event

Many thanks to everyone that came to say hello, and showed an interest in the Heenan Photography stall, at the Working Woodland Day event on Saturday 17th August. Tom and Natasha gave out flyers and sweets, talked to visitors about Heenan Photography, and offered both photographic prints and the newly-designed T-shirts for sale at the venue in North Weald in Epping Forest. The event as a whole was very successful, with an estimated 1,250 people attending on the day, which luckily turned out fine in spite of the forecast (which mentioned a chance of rain!).

Heenan Photography are donating 25% of money taken at the Working Woodland Day event to Trees for Cities, a charity that works with local communities on tree planting projects in urban areas.
