Club Meetings
The Club season runs between September and June. We cater for all ages and abilities, so you don’t need to be an expert to join us!
We regularly have other photographers come and show their work, and this can be on a wide variety of subjects and may include prints, slides or audio-visual shows. These will hopefully help you to improve your photography skills, make better use of your camera equipment and provide you with inspiration.
Competitions are held in both print and slide classes in various subjects, and entry into these is purely voluntary. These give you a chance to have your work evaluated by an appointed outside judge, to see the work of other members and to receive constructive advice. The Club also competes in a number of external competitions and battles, which allows us to view the standards and ideas of other clubs.
Studio sessions are held as and when required, and offer the opportunity for members to use studio equipment. A small fee is usually charged to cover the hire of the hall and to pay the model. These are open to fully paid up members only.
And there’s more........ it’s not all serious stuff! We have some fun nights as well, quiz nights, treasure hunts, social events and regular outings, especially in the closed season between June and September. We also have “informal” meetings during the summer months, in the pub!
Subscription fees are £36 a year (payable in full or in two instalments of £18.00), with concessions for full time students. As a potential member, you may attend three meetings before actually taking the plunge and signing up for the whole year. You don’t have to pay until you decide to join. Visitors who are non-members are always welcome to attend any meeting in the Club calendar, subject to a £2 fee payable on the door.
Our aim is to make you welcome and to help you enjoy your photography, whatever your ability. We hope we can welcome you to the Club soon.
