Club Programme

Upcoming meetings, speakers and competitions

Historically, the club met once a fortnight.
As the membership has grown, the programme of events has expanded.
The club now meets every Wednesday.
Evenings when the formal programme does not run, members meet to discuss photography, swap ideas, show their latest prints and to help solve each others problems.
