“More than a camera club—it's a community.
Improve your photography and meet new chums who share your passion”

"I love the varied programme, especially the members' nights which are hugely enjoyable and informative."
“
I joined having no real photography experience but keen to learn more. The variety of competitions, practical nights, members nights, location photography, book reviews and all things photography related are presented/discussed and make for a varied and interesting season. Out of season there are summer outings which are well attended. Sometimes more chat than photos but we are a friendly sociable club. 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."

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