Last season has seen an increase in membership rising to 50 members. Many of these are new to photography and have been keen to learn ~ those in the Advanced sections will need to look to their laurels when the new season starts with additional members in the group.

If you are interested in joining a friendly society then please come along to our first night of the new season on the 8th of September where you will have the chance to meet everyone , and see members' holiday snaps.

The digital imaging section has been a great success. With more and more competitions not having a slide section it is vital that we move with the times. For a number of years we have taken photographs to submit to the management committee of St. Catherine's Hospice. Our photographs have been used as part of the calendar produced each year to help raise funds for this worthy cause. If you would like a calendar with images taken locally then please contact Gary Poole at our society.

Jean Howard's LRPS panel remains in our website gallery as a memory of her work.

Congratulations go to Fred Parkinson who achieved a CPAGB award recently. This has been a good year for Fred as he performed well in the internal competitions and also gained 3rd place in the Brownedge festival.
