years of age be accompanied by a responsible adult.  

​

Q  Do I need an expensive camera to join the club?

A  Absolutely not.  Many excellent images can been taken with a Smartphone nowadays. Creativity and visual awareness are the most important qualities of a good photographer. 

​

Q  How could my photography develop?

A  When you have reached a certain standard you might decide to submit your work for distinctions awarded by external bodies such as the Royal Photographic Society or the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. Seeking independent ratification of the standard of one's work can be both highly motivating and very satisfying when successful. However, we realise this is not for everyone and many members will be happy producing good quality images that are admired by friends, families and fellow members.
