The Benefits of Membership

Find us Here on Facebook it you want a quick general view of our activity and events.

We meet up every month (3rd Thursday 7pm) where we usually have a core topic and talk from an experienced member or professionals from our community. We also get feedback on our monthly competition submissions from a judge – usually formally accredited external judges – which provides invaluable feedback to continually improve our art and techniques.

We often hold regular photography outings around a subject or techniques. You can join these on a casual ad-hoc basis for a small fee to cover insurance.

This website allows members to easily upload images to competitions and allows judges to review and comment directly online.

After you register here and get membership details from the club you will get an invitation code to allow you to join the club site.
