Club Meet Up Nights

Club nights are every Wednesday on a rolling calendar of 3 weeks in and 1 week off, details of this are on the home page Calendar.


All our members are friendly, helpful and of varying ages and photographic disciplines, and between us have a many years of experience.


We are now only a digital format club, although we are able to convert negative images  (that have been laboratory processed) to digital JPEG, PING etc or other format, we have digital scanners, printers and projectors. We no longer use chemicals due to health and safety reasons.


We have a theme night approx. every 4th Wednesday (though subject to changes if we have competitions or events planned) on a rolling calendar- please see our calendar for more details. This gives our photographer a chance to have their images views and critiqued by the club, with possible future entry into the inter club competitions between other clubs.


The club is open to anyone interested in photography from beginners to experienced, and with mobile phone cameras getting better each year, we welcome those to come and join us also, though the phone camera may limit what you are able to do instead of a digital photographic camera (for example styles of photography and demonstration nights). 


If you have any questions, pleas contacts us by clicking on the blue CONTACT button at the top of this page.
