Members range from the experienced with impressive letters after their names to beginners who are encouraged at every stage to enter and take part in all the club activities.

Overview of club activities
Throughout the year a number of competitions are held – some for prints and some for digitally projected images (using the clubs own digital projector).
Members are entitled to enter up to four images in each competition. Judging normally takes place on the evening of the competition and the winner, second and third place announced at the end of the session.
Images that score 18 or more points in an internal club competition are eligible for selection to represent the club in one of the various inter-club competitions we also take part in during a season.
The programme includes several lectures each year – some by senior club members, others by external experts in their field.
We are sure that the competitions, lectures and the other activities arranged during a season will provide you with many opportunities to improve your photographic skills, get new ideas and make new friends.
If you wish to find out more, please do not hesitate to come along to a club meeting for a chat, or contact one of the committee members listed at the top right of this page.
We hope to see you at a club meeting soon.
