The outline of the group and its objectives are "simply photography".

Do our best to avoid all the technical chat and phrases, and trying to keep things nice and simple so that we can enjoy photography and not get bogged down in technicalities!!


All levels/experiences welcome, newcomers or professionals! doesn't matter what you take photos with as long as a digital image can eventually be submitted for viewing at meetings.


We are having monthly photo challenges, topics chosen by members at the group meeting and we also intend to have a learning topic for each meeting and hopefully be able to put it into practise at the meeting so that we can discuss the results.

Our photo shoots will vary as the season passes.

We aim to find venues that are suitable for the weather, so our early year venues are likely to be somewhere where there is cover from rain and a cafe!
