About

Are you interested in joining a friendly, welcoming club and have an interest in photography? 

Meetings are held from early September to late May each year, starting at 7:30 pm and finishing between 9.30 and 10 pm. We warmly welcome new members, whether you’re a novice wanting to acquire skills or more advanced in your photographic techniques. We are committed to continuously supporting those members wanting to achieve their personal photographic goals.

Meetings are held at Meads Hall, 77 Meads Road (corner with Meads Street), Eastbourne, BN20 7QL, which has full disabled access and facilities. The hall was previously known as St John’s Parish Hall and has been recently renovated, providing a comfortable venue with the latest in technology

The cost of annual membership for the current season running to May 2025 is £65. 

Meetings consist of lectures by visiting speakers, as well as our own members, competitions, workshops and competitions with other clubs. We have a membership or buddy system where a member can ask for one-to-one guidance or a particular aspect of photography. This may be a taking landscapes or visit to locations, offering street photography or wildlife opportunities.

For those who like to get out as a group we have a series of walks in the local area, this may be an opportunity to get  to take some photographs and to meet with fellow club members. Group visits to places of photograph  interest are organised on a regular basis throughout the season.  Competition evenings for both digital images (PDI) and prints are separated into intermediate and advanced levels. The subject matter is open.

The competition entries are usually appraised by a guest judge, who provides constructive feedback and critique. Entries are on a voluntary basis, and there is no need to feel pressurised into entering.

We are members of the Kent County Photographic Association  (KCPA) and affiliated with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB). The KCPA  organises regional competitions and the club will submit  members’  images on the their behalf.
