Programme

You can download a PDF copy of the full 2024/25 programme here.

Our programme for 2025/26 is divided into eight modules, each focused on a particular area of photography and aimed at appealing to everyone from camera phone users to those with bags of kit. The first session of every module is a talk by a key speaker, and then in the subsequent weeks we explore the theme in further depth by way of practical sessions, peer reviews and discussions, in a fun, relaxed and enjoyable environment. In the Judge’s Review evenings Members of all abilities are invited to submit images for critique and advice to further refine their skills. There is always an Open category for those who prefer to submit images not related to the theme of the current module.
