Meetings 2025-2026

Prints only

Scott and his wife Judy are professional photographers based in Namibia. He left the UK to realise a dream of setting up a company in a country that he saw as the most diverse and photogenic he knew. He is an infectious and enthusiast speaker with a quirky sense of humour so it should be an excellent evening.

Lesley is a York based photographer who was awarded her ARPS for her experimental Parallel Lives series. The images were taken with her camera phone and features street scenes and architecture. She is also a traditional landscape photographer and has been honing her skills since 2009. 

Royston  lives in Doncaster and has had a life long passion for nature and photography. In 2000 he had the opportunity to set up his own media company producing film for the private and public sector. Having retired he has devoted mcuh of his time to all things photography. His website is certainly worth looking at www.shootingscenes.co.uk.

Panel of 3 closes. Please hand in your prints and ensure your digital images are on the website. 

Points Rnd 2 opens - Prints only.

Richard is a very well known and repsected photographer. He is particularly recognised as portrait and artistic nude photographer but does not limit himself to this genre.

Panel of 3 competition opens - this will be judged by an external judge this year.

Cafe Forums are about learning, sharing knowledge and having fun with the months theme. We will put the images on a screen and you can say why you took them, maybe what you have learned or ask advice on how to improve the image. We may not be able to show all your images if we have a lot as we ensure everyone has the same opportunity to discuss their images.

So come and share the images you have taken demonstrating how the following impact the depth of field and experiment to see how you can create something different.  

• How different...

Advice on how to prepare for club competitions, helpful to new members and a refresher to those who have been members for a while. The second part of the evening we ask members to bring an image or two that they like. These are not necessarily competition quality images but one you like and tell us why you like it. Maybe it reminds you of a happy time, makes you smile when you look at it,  the reasons does not matter. Hope to see a good range of genre which mean something to the authors.

The AGM where officer reports of last season will be given which will include, finance, competition and the president's.  Many of the club documents have been updates and comments can be made. The committee and officers will be elected. The open forum and Q&A can include any questions on how the club is run, ideas for future programmes or any club related questions.
