WE ENJOYED some lovely hot weather last week - although the weekend wasn't as nice - so we asked our camera club members to send us pictures of how they've been keeping cool.

This is just a small selection of the pictures shared by members of the South Wales Argus Camera Club and you can see more by visiting the SWACC page on Facebook.

More than 4,700 people are signed up as camera club members. Why not join them?
