With 80+ members Welwyn Garden City Photographic Club is thriving.

With a variety of ages, interests and experience, we are all enthusiasts eager to exchange ideas, learn more about photography and how we can improve our skills. We are affiliated to the East Anglian Federation of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain who also run informative courses and events.

Our weekly programme includes illustrated Talks and Workshops on many different subjects such as portraiture, natural history and wildlife, travel, techniques on composition and exposure, also understanding Photoshop.

On Members Evenings we can informally show a selection of our work with the chance to interact and ask questions. We also have monthly and annual Competitions where our work is assessed by recognized judges and trophies are awarded. Work can be in colour and mono prints and digital projected images.

We also take part in Inter-Club Competitions, locally and nationally, which often bring out our best work.

We like to try and help each other – both by informal discussion and with our Mentoring Scheme where experienced members give one-to-one advice on specific subjects.

We hold two Annual Club Exhibitions -the Winter Exhibition for a month at Campus West and a Summer Weekend Exhibition at The Howard Centre, both in Welwyn Garden City and which attract much local interest. We also submit entries to the EAF Annual Exhibition, with some recent successes.

So if you would like to get more from your photography come and join us.

We meet every Tuesday from 7.45pm until 10.0pm at the Terrace Suite, Campus West, from the beginning of September (31 August this year) until the end of May. Annual subs are only £40 plus a small charge for refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you at the Club.
