The club is open to all but, if you are under 18 then we would ask you come along with a parent or guardian. This will be explained to you if you ask to join the club.

It certainly is, we have many “new starters”, but we take a view that we are all new starters in someway shape or form. We try to set aside time for new starters to cover specific topics so you can develop your photography skills.

Every Thursday of the year (we take a break over Christmas and New Year Period) at 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm start finishing around 9:00 pm. Meetings are supplemented by photography field trips / visits to various places.

The club seeks to maintain an ethos of having fun, learning from each other, supporting each other and making sure that the club is welcoming to all.
