The Club has been in existence for many years and has a thriving membership of about 90, spanning a wide age range and also wide range of experience and photographic interests.
From September until July we meet (almost) every Monday night (Bank Holidays excepted) upstairs at the Colliton Club, Glyde Path Road, Dorchester. The start time is 7.30pm but you are advised to get here by 7.15pm to be sure of a seat and a chance to read the notice-board, have a chat and help with the setting up. The finishing time is around 10pm, we have a short break mid-session where you can use the bar of the Colliton Club for coffee or other refreshment.
Annual subscription £30.00
Club nights comprise of:
• Visiting speakers share their particular photographic interests, illustrated by prints and/or projected images.
• Our own members show and talk about their work.
• Regular competitions.
• Meet with other clubs for competitions and sharing photographic enjoyment.
• Work appreciation, practical activities and demonstrations.
• Occasional, very enjoyable, social events.
• Participation in the Wessex Battle. An annual competition between most of the clubs in the area, held at the Corn Exchange during November.
We also hold additional Evenings:
• We hold Work Appreciation evenings and Photoshop Sessions on some Fridays at the Colliton Club.
• We sometimes go to other clubs for competitions and joint presentations. These may take place on their usual club nights and if so will be in addition to our programme.
Other Activities include:
• Regular Exhibitions.
• Workshops.
• WCPF and PAGB competitions and events.
And we also hold Special Events:
• Usually public, where well known photographers are invited to give a presentation. Speakers over the years have included, Heather Angel, Andy Rouse, John Pilkington, Jack Jackson, Guy Edwardes and the late Barrie Thomas.
• Group Outings and Photographic walks.
• Club members are often asked to help with photographic events or to take photographs for public events. This is of course voluntary but it does often give access to good photo opportunities. Recent examples, Dorset Show and Dorchester Festival.
We are affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (P.A.G.B.) and a member of Western Counties Photographic Federation (W.C.P.F.).
