Going For It © Robbo Troughton

Joining Is Easy

First come along to a meeting and check us out, meet our members and see how we operate.

We really encourage all potential members to attend a couple of club nights first (for FREE of course!). That way you get a chance to chat with some of our members, see how our club nights work and get all the info you need to join.

You can also read through our info in the documents below.

The next step is to fill in a Membership Registration form, pay your subscription, get the info for our themes and how to enter your images into our monthly competitions – then get out and about with your camera!
