Our Club was formed in 1971 by 12 enthusiasts.
We are a friendly club of now over 40 members and strive to
engage members with all aspects of photography.
We also hold workshops (TWITS, 'The Weeks Inbetween Team' sessions).
Our Open Shutter group focuses on creative editing often following photo shoots. We also discuss and edit live images from any source.
If you wish to join us please use the "Contact Us" form.
We normally meet every two weeks from September to June.
The Club is run by an elected committee - see below.

More Info
The Club has evolved continuously since the days of wet photography, where those with dark rooms would spend hours hovering over trays of chemicals, to today where the Club has embraced all that modern digital photography can throw at it. To help with this the Club took advantage of the “Grants for all Scheme”, and was awarded £5000 to purchase a laptop computer and digital projector
.
An annual subscription covers the cost for the hire of the United Reformed Church where we meet as a group and host speakers and competition judges. The Club is also affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain through the Western Counties Photographic Federation.
Our membership varies between experienced and novice photographers. We pride ourselves in being a friendly and helpful Club who try to provide advice, tips and general information to help everyone develop and enhance their skills in all aspects of their hobby. We have a taster system for potential new members to come along and enjoy an evening where they can meet like minded people and get a feel for the Club.
We try to produce a programme which features guest speakers who are often experts in their particular field of photography.
Competition judges are constructive in their comments and act as a learning vehicle from which all members benefit whether they enter a competition or not.
The subject of our competitions is varied to encourage members at all levels to challenge themselves.
