Programme 2008-9

Programme 2009-10

We have a varied programme with something for everyone. The meetings will arouse your interest and enhance your own photographs.

We have four kinds of meeting:

Members’ activities include workshops, presentations, photo shoots and other practical and useful activities in which you can learn how to improve your own skills and techniques;
Expert speakers including professional photographers give illustrated talks and share their trade secrets on topics in their specialist field;
Internal Competitions let you test your skills and win club awards, but more importantly receive feedback and expert advice from judges;
External Competitions including the Rose Bowl and other inter-club friendly matches where the club competes against other clubs in the region.
