You will be made welcome whatever your level of ability or experience
The Society was formed in July 1936 so our next season, which starts on the 2nd September 2026, is our 90th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone we are planning an exciting programme of events, including a special anniversary lecture in October. Information on the first few meetings is given below and more information can be found under the programme tab. If you want to learn more about what we do just look around this site, visit our social media pages or contact us directly. We meet on Wednesday evenings from September to May and we also run occasional technical workshops. Guests are always welcome to any of our events so if you are interested in photography come along and try us out.
