What does your club offer to new members?
We pride ourselves on being a very friendly, supportive and novice-friendly group whereby we all – whether beginner, intermediate or experienced photographers – partake and share knowledge in this wonderful hobby (or in some cases profession) that we all share. The main ethos of the club is learning together, supporting each other, inspiring each other and having fun while following our photography passions.
