Next Meeting : 12th May.
Club Audio Visual Evening

This long established Society currently has around sixty five members with about forty present for most meetings. Visitors commonly remark that we are very friendly and lively group! We meet on Monday evenings (except Bank Holidays) from September to the end of June. We hold an annual exhibition at the same venue in October.

Our venue is the Bramhall Village Club, on Lumb Lane in the centre of Bramhall. The Bramhall Village Club is a charitable organisation of which the Photographic Society is one section. A permanent darkroom is available for members, equipped for both monochrome and colour printing, though it must be said that the digital revolution has greatly reduced its use. For members wishing to try this still fascinating art, help and mentoring from established members is readily available.

The “digital revolution” is also reflected in the popularity of our Digital Imaging Group, which meet fortnightly in addition to our normal programme. We are very fortunate to have Harry Bosworth to run this for us. (Harry, together with fellow member George Bockenheim, also oganises the RPS North West Digital Imaging Group, which meets at Grappenhall, south of Warrington.)

To support our digital workers, the Society was fortunate in gaining an award from the Lottery Commission in 2004 to fund the purchase of a digital projector, laptop computer and comprehensive software. A growing number of members are now exploring audio visual work in the digital domain.

A monthly newsletter is produced by David Hempstock giving notice of coming events, member profiles and other items likely to be of interest. The Society is affiliated to the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union.

Please explore this developing site and, if you think you may be interested, come along one Monday evening and introduce yourself.
