If we haven't had enough of them already this season the two Robs will be back to battle it out tonight for the Top Rob trophy which is a trophy shaped very much like a biscuit and, strangely, even tastes like one too. With subjects to be confirmed there will be no stopping these two […]
Prior to our AGM the committee will meet to prepare for what promises to be the most exciting AGM yet. Maybe....

It is time to plan our Winter programme and everyone is welcome.

Yes it's another night where some brave volunteers will be critiquing your pictures with the aim to give you constructive criticism so, if there are improvements to be made, they will guide you.

Every single question is related to photography....well sort of....and maybe.... Playing in teams you may even win a prize and the much coveted title […]
First up in 2018 is Jason with the epic story of his amazing fundraising challenge in 2017. As I write this in early October he has raised over £10000 and is just about to end what has been an incredible strain on his sleep requirements and nullified any social life for over two months. There […]
