I really enjoy the summer outings, meeting members in a more informal setting and varied venues near to home

Super friendly atmosphere and the annual programme has great balance between competitions, practical sessions and member-generated topics of interest from travels and experience. Love the weekly evening outings in the local area throughout summer too.

The club is made of a bunch of diverse photographers with many interesting styles. I’ve learnt a lot through seeing their work and it’s great to see how others see the world. It’s been a great way to meet new people and explore the local area through the summer outings. I highly recommend it!

I joined having no real photography experience but keen to learn more. The variety of competitions, practical nights, members nights, location photography, and all things photography related make for a varied and interesting season. No matter if you're a happy snapper or more serious the club is for all skill levels. I certainly feel I've gained a lot by being a member.
