Our aim is to provide worthwhile and stimulating photography events for all our members in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and to provide the opportunity for the individual to improve their standard and enjoyment of photography by:

* Making available member’s work for comparison

* Sharing of knowledge and experience

* Providing talks on subjects of interest by experts and/or enthusiasts. Benefits of joining the club

* Making friends in your locality

* Developing your skills and at the same time having fun

* Sharing your hobby with like-minded people. Our members enjoy a varied programme of activities during the season, designed to suit the interests of all members with differing levels of skills and experience. These include competitions (which are a great way to see other people’s ideas,) talks by professionals, practical demonstrations and tutorials, field trips and reviews of work by photographic societies.

29.10.26 – L&CPU Folio and Guest Speaker Malcolm Hart

Tonight’s programme is divided into two parts.

In the first half, we will view a selection of photographs from the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union (L&CPU) Folio. The images have been chosen to showcase a high standard of photographic work and provide us with an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate a diverse collection of excellent images.

For the second half of the evening, we are delighted to welcome back our friend of the club, Malcolm Hart, who will talk about his life and experiences as a professional photographer.

Malcolm always provides fascinating insights into his work, sharing the stories behind his photographs as well as the practical realities of making a living from photography. It’s a great opportunity to discover what it takes to turn something we enjoy as a hobby into a professional career.
