Following a request from a member, for a copy of the League Competition Rules, that could be printed out, I have added a “Download” section under “Members Links”. (I had a problem downloading these PDF’s on some Android devices, using Google Chrome, but found that MS Edge works fine). You can download both Annual and League Competition Rules and the latest user friendly 2024-2025 Programme.
For those of you who missed the first meeting, we have a new President – Graham Light, who prior to retiring as a professional photographer, was the main club sponsor. Graham has an exhibition on 26th October and it would be nice to be supported by club members, families and friends.
If you would like to improve your photography, or share photography with like minded people, why not come along and join the club.
Please Note – A new section has been added to “Members Links” with a link to useful YouTube videos suggested by members. Please take a look and if you have any that you have found to be really good, please let the Webmaster know.
YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU! Do you understand Social Media, can
you keep the Facebook page looking fresh and interesting?
Is Instagram something you’re familiar with?
If so, please contact a committee member, we’d love someone to take on responsibility for the FaceBook page and Social Media posts.
Workshops
We regulary run workshops in the Committee Room at Cricklade Town Hall. These cover things like: “Critiqueing images and What Judges look for”, “Camera settings and getting off Auto”, An intro to Photoshop” and “Photoshop for Improvers”
Outings
In July and August we hold regular free outings for club members and guests both during daytime and evenings – see the separate Outings section in this website for more info.
