19 August 2024 - Members Evening with the theme "Before they are skipped" - Over the decades, we have all accumulated prints, each of them a masterpiece in their time, so let's give them another viewing before the kids put them in a skip. New Work also welcome.

16 September 2024 - Members select the images for Crown Mono's 2025 Calendar (A3 size) - Target is to select 16-18 images to be printed by Pixaprint (approx. £9 each) Max 4 submissions per member from which max 2 may be chosen. File sizes, print dimensions and other specifications to follow.

21 October 2024 - Roy Carr AWPF - Making Two minute Documentaries - Roy explains "The idea is to invite subjects to have their portrait taken, sitting with an object that is important to them, and to (audio) record their reasons why the object was chosen. Then to overlay that recording over a short slide show. My intention is to learn additional skills and to get to know more people in my village".

18 November 2024 - Members Evening - "Do you have a project?" - Are you working towards any form of distinction? Do you intend to hold or participate in an exhibition? Do you feel you are bringing something new to the medium of Monochrome? Do you have new work to show? Whatever it is - please share it with us.

16 December 2024 - Mike Clatworthy - An evening of projected images - David Bathard explains. "Mike is a member of Cymru Monochrome whose postings I have followed keenly on Facebook, frequently making positive comments. I am very pleased to welcome him to Crown."
Please note this is our Christmas Meeting with all the usual 'Cheer'.
