Programme & Events

Season 2025 – 2026

We welcome members and anyone interested in photography to our club for the opening night on Tuesday 2nd September, with doors open from 7PM. Refreshments are available ahead of our meeting start at 7:30. We pause for fifteen minutes around 8:30, for a comfort break, more refreshments and the ever popular raffle, with a resumption at 8:45 until 9:30.  Anyone interested in what goes on at the club is welcome to join us and enjoy mixing with members and non-members alike.

This season’s Programme of events has been prepared with a mixture of presentations, expert talks, competitions and member’s nights.  Most of the sessions will be held at the club, but we also have a small number of zoom sessions that will be presented in the club by speakers who are further afield.
