Photography

The Group: We are a friendly Photography Group where the emphasis is on the story behind the picture rather than the technical proficiency of the photographer. We have over 30 members and many of us take our photos on our smartphones rather than a conventional camera.
Organising team: Peter Stratford, Mike Burgess, Ali Woolford, Lynnette Norris, Paul Calas, Shirley Mitchell
To contact the group: leave Peter Stratford a message via the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Day & Time: 2nd Friday of the month from 2 pm – 4 pm
Venue: Victoria Hall, Ash Hill Road
