September at the club

Monday 1^st September

Our 2025-6 season got off to a great start with a talk by Paul Hassell MPAGB FRPS FIPF FBPE

Paul showed us a wide variety of prints. He explained why and how he had taken them and why they are important to him. Paul’s photography is driven by a passion for capturing authentic human moments. He encouraged people to talk to interesting characters before attempting to photograph them. His portraits are more than just photographs; they are windows into the lives of the people he meets.

Monday 8^th September is our Awards Night.

This evening is presented by President Jane Lines MPAGB LRPS BPE5* AWPF Hon LCPU.

It is the night when we celebrate last season’s hard work. So come along to collect your award. If you are not a member you are welcome to come along anyway to see examples of work produced by our members.

Also, during this evening, we will have a presentation entitled ‘What I did over the summer’ compiled from images submitted by members. This is not a competition, it’s just for fun!

Monday 15 Sept is a Practical Night of Tabletop Photography and also a chance to see an L&CPU Folio
