[Leica] LUG Book 2015 - I need your support

[Gerry Walden]

Richard

I am in, and for the first time ever I will be submitting Leica images. As I read it I cam submit two images, but I am worried by the words ‘Midnight PST’ - please tell me you do not need them by midnight tonight. What is the cut-off date?
