This Thursday we have another Members Evening and we will be reviewing the Committee discussions around the future of the club and points raised at the AGM. All members are invited to attend to help determine what we will do as a club going forwards.
This Thursday is our third DPI competition on the topic of “Bad Weather”, and we’ve certainly had plenty of that lately. Our judge for the evening will be Bristol-based photographer Simon Caplan LRPS. Simon is a member of Bristol Photographic Society and the Bristol Creatives Group.
Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 taster meetings before deciding whether to join or not. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30.
On Thursday, Natasha Jones who runs a local dance school, NJ Dance, will be bringing some of her pupils for a photoshoot. There will be a selection of ages and styles including jazz, tap ballet, acro and commercial.
So bring along your cameras and accessories for an evening of dynamic photography.
This Thursday, Tom Ford shares his incredible images of abandoned UK Asylums with a presentation entitled “There They Stand, Isolated, Majestic, Imperious”. The Victorian asylum is a system that has long gone and it is doubtful that such a system will ever exist again. An evening of fascinating images and historical interest is guaranteed.
Submissions are due by Thursday for the next DPI competition “Bad Weather”.
Non-members are welcome to attend up to 3 meetings for free to see what we do. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30.

Formed in 1996, the objective of WAVES is to encourage and promote the understanding, study and practice of the art of audio-visual sequences.
Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 meetings to see what we do. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30.
This Thursday is our second print Competition of the season with the category of “Looking Up or Down”. We are very fortunate to have as our judge an extremely experienced international WCPF judge, Sandie Cox ARPS, DPAGB.
Non-members are welcome to come along for 2 or 3 meetings before committing to join. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30pm. Why not come along and see what we do as a club?
This Thursday we are holding our Annual General Meeting. This is an opportunity for members to re-elect or change club officials and provide input to the shape the future of the club.
The agenda, proposals and a revised membership form have been emailed to all members. The minutes of the last AGM were missed from the email, but will be circulated later today.
We would encourage all members to attend as we have some important discussions this year. We look forward to seeing you there.
This Thursday is another members’ evening where we will be holding a knock-out print competition, but we are the judges. Bring up to two mounted prints from your archive or something new – one colour, one mono.
We will mix the Group A and Group B prints together for each category (colour and mono) and randomly choose 2 images to go head-to-head in a series of knock out rounds. We will vote with our hands and the winner goes on to the next round each time, until there is an ultimate winner!
Submissions are due tonight for the “Looking Up Or Down” Print Competition.
New members are always welcome and can attend a couple of meetings for free to get a taste of what we do. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30pm.
Happy New Year to you all! For our first meeting of the New Year on Thursday, it is a welcome return to our good friend and local photographer, Eddy Lane. This is a new presentation entitled “Lockdown Wiltshire Wildlife” and will be full of spectacular images that Eddy has taken in his own backyard. Obviously not the ones shown in the photo below from the last time he was at the hall. You can see more of Eddy’s images on the website shared by him and his wife, Pam https://eddyandpamlanephotography.zenfolio.com/.
