For the 20010 / 11 season Ross Camera Club meets from 8th September till 6th April the following year, once a week on a Wednesday
evening, taking the photographic doldrums out of the winter months. Throughout the season's programme, we have guest speakers covering as many different
aspects of photography as possible. Also a number of members' evenings where we
all enjoy seeing what various members get up to, this usually sparks off
questions and a lively discussion, as we all have different ways of doing
things. There are 6 internal competitions, where members that wish, submit a
number of pictures. On the competition evening an outside judge goes through
the pictures, and gives constructive comments and awards the winners. This may
sound very competitive, but it's run to be very lighthearted. There are a
number of members who actively submit to local, national and international
exhibitions. Where possible, and if enough members wish to, the society submits as
a group. Should you have any accepted and go along to the exhibition it's quite
a buzz to see your picture exhibited. When possible outside events are
organised, day trips, workshops and seminars. We are not a direct teaching
society but should you join and get stuck with something there is sure to be a
member who has had the same problem and is willing to help point you in the
right direction. As you can see it is a very active society and
all have a love of taking pictures!
We meet at
Ross Conservative Club, Hillsborough, The Avenue, Ross-on-Wye, HR9 5AW
New members who have come to us from other clubs have often said how welcome
they were made and quickly felt part of the society. It was mentioned by a
recent new member "this is more like a social group who all happen to like
photography"!
Now, what does it cost?
Membership is £20 for
the season (reduced if you join mid season) plus £1 per evening you attend (includes tea/coffee and biscuits). Not a bad deal!
