Meetings
With effect from this year the Club will now normally meet regularly on the SECOND Friday of each month at the Burton Hotel in Kington, Herefordshire. Meetings start at 19.30 and will either take the form of a learning session as described below or a friendly competition judged by other members on a prescribed theme, as well as the usual exchange of experience and gossip. We often need to spend some time refreshing our permanent exhibition of photographs in various areas of the Hotel as well as assembling our major summer exhibition of members' work at the Hotel.
In addition to these regular meetings we also hope to arrange a number of external visits to exhibitions and other clubs or events as well as practical photography sessions in a variety of environments. We shall try to announce these on this web site wherever practicable, but if you would like to become involved and join the Club please contact us so that we can add your details to our mailing list.
There is plenty of parking at the rear of the Hotel or in the public car park to the west (no charge at night) and all usual services are available, including good-value bar meals. You will find a map showing the location of the Hotel below. Our current membership subscription is just £20 per year, payable by March.
