Meetings

We'd like to extend an open invitation to anyone and everyone who is considering joining us or is simply curious about the club.  All ages are welcome, as are all levels of photographers from novice to pro.  Even if you don't have a camera, use  your phone......no judgement, only support, inspiration and friendship.

2026
End-of-Year Challenge
Card Art
Not a competition so absolutely NO judging!  
Your chance to create and present your own piece of 'art'/creative work in whatever form you wish.
The brief
Use all or parts of a large sheet of card as you wish as part of your EoY passion-project.  [Card available on club nights or from Peter Wise's shop.]
Supplied card measures approx. 85cm x 60cm.
Photograph it, cut it up, reshape it, paint it, print on it, add to it, build on it……do as you wish with it…. anything goes.  
The only ‘rules’ are that at least some of your card must be evident in your final presentation……and hopefully your creation will be related to your photography!!
