September 2025

Well here we are again. The new 2025/26 season for the club starts on 12th September 2025 at the St Francis Millennium Hall Barry.

We have a new Events Manager Anne, who has concentrated on planning the events with a good spread of practical, theory and educational events throughout the year.

We start with a relaxed session (mind you they are all pretty relaxed) and a chance to catch up on our Summer hols etc. Then an opportunity to show members images they have taken/created during their break. These are usually filled with some excellent images to start the year – some of which are likely to end up in club and/or interclub competitions.

Talking about competitions we also have a few club competitions where members show their images in digital format or as prints. There is no pressure to enter these comps but it is good to see where your images stand against other members images.

9th January 2026

We have an evening with Mali Davies – this is one he has had to cancel last year due to the weather.

Apologies here – owing to a dose of this horrible flu Mali Davies Has had to once again cancel his presentation.

The next few Friday evening are Members Evenings – where members get a chance to show their expertise in an area of their choice through presentations or tutorials or photoshoots.

The last few sessions have be reorganised due to illness and bad weather but we have had some great evenings.

On 9th January two of our members Malcolm Downes and Anne Phillips entertained us with some Audio/Visual presentations. Two great and very different productions each informative and entertaining in their own right.

On the 16th January we had an impromptu presentation by a local Wildlife Macro photographer Steve Greening and what a great presentation it was – His images were outstanding and very well presented. Thanks Steve a Great presentation and display of images.

30th January 2026

This week we have an Internal competition where members who wish to enter provide up to 2 prints and 2 digital images – It is an Open comp (no Genre) just their favourite images. These get judged by an external judge. The winning images should then appear on the web site under competitions.
