Club Diary, 2026–27 Season
Welcome to our 50th season, running from 4th September to 14th May.
• We will be holding official Club meetings two times per month, both starting at 7:30pm and running until c.10pm.
• Each month, there will be one meeting on a Tuesday evening at the St Mary’s Church Rooms. This will focus on a genre of photography or a theme and can be regarded as a learning or experimentation night.
• The second monthly meeting will be on a Friday evening at the Overton Recreation Centre Pavilion on Bridge Street. This will be focused on competition.
