The meetings are normally held at the above location. Any changes will be clear from our programme. We have a membership with a wide range of interests and a wide range of photographic and technical ability. We encourage beginners to form small self-help sub-groups to meet in their own homes with ad hoc support and guidance from an experienced member.
We try, in our programme, to deal with both the photographic part of our title, and also the digital or technical parts, such as software and techniques. Each week we have a topic as a basis for members to take photos based on that topic and to display them at the meeting. This is to encourage members to be more observant and creative, and to use some of the techniques seen in our meetings.

We are very much a social group of people who work with material old and new. Our highlight is always our Christmas get
together at the Coodinator's home, where everyone brings a special dish - always good! We have now been
together for more than ten years. During that time, thirteen healthy grandchildren have been born. Therefore
many baby quilts in all versions have been produced. We feel very lucky. |

A
very informal group working on individual projects, discussing
problems and features, exchanging ideas, constructive criticism
and encouragement. The group is small because of limited working
space. We mainly concentrate on carving but have made other
things in wood. Our common interest is the joy and sometimes
the frustration of working with a natural material.
