There's never an excuse for lounging around on the beach like Homer Simpson in the picture above!  Both during and after the season ends in May each year we plan a number of extra activities for club members.  These include practical workshops, walks, talks and outings, so bring your camera along and join us for some 'extra curricular' activity!

SADLY, TO AVOID PUTTING MEMBERS AND VISITORS AT RISK DURING THE COVID19 CRISIS,  OUR MONDAY EVENING MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! 

On our Programme tab.....
Take a look at the Programme tab to find what has been arranged for your interest and enjoyment throughout the 2019/20 season from Sept 2019 to May 2020!

Our regular Monday evening meetings are held at our home venue, St John's Hall on the corner of Meads Road and Meads Street, during the club season that runs from September to May.  New members at any level of skill are welcome, so why not come along and join? - see Find Us for details of our Meads Street 'home' where we meet during the season. 
   
Hailsham Photographic Society Coach Trip CANCELLED!
In view of the risk of COVID19, Hailsham PS's coach trip to Chichester and Bosham on Sat 18 APRIL 2020 has been cancelled BUT if the situation improves the trip might go ahead on a car sharing basis which would give more flexibility. However, the priority at the moment is for everyone to take care.
If things improve and it becomes possible to car share, the plan is to see two free photographic exhibitions: one is in Chichester and the other in Bosham, both small but the work is of outstanding quality. The exhibition in Chichester is at the Assembly Rooms in North St, organised by The Focus Group - eight like-minded photographers whose wide-ranging interests include Landscape,  Street Photography, Collages, Documentary and much else.  
The other exhibition is at the Bosham Gallery and celebrates the work of Charlie Waite, known world-wide for his stunning landscapes.  Called ‘Hidden Works’, it traces his work from 1970 to the present day, showcasing unseen photographs and his passion for black and silver gelatine printing. 

Watch this page for updates - if the current situation improves this trip is a great opportunity for photography as well as a good day out!

SSCC Annual Lunch 2020
 
Our annual lunch for members and their guests was held at 
The Langham Hotel, Royal Parade, Eastbourne on Saturday, February 22nd 2020.  A a drinks reception in the bar at 12.30pm was followed by a 3-course lunch, coffee and mints.
 
While we enjoyed the meal, we racked our brains to answer the table quiz on dog breeds and product brands set by Alan Carter; table 3 joined forces and, excelling themselves with most correct answers, won wine and chocs.
 
Every person attending the lunch was given a ticket in a grand draw, with the lucky winner receiving the prize of FREE membership for one for next season, commencing September 2020! 

A good time was had by all, and thanks go to Julian Chamberlin for organising the event for the 3rd year running, and to Alan for setting the quiz.  Of course a camera club lunch wouldn't have been complete without someone taking a few pics - see below!

SUMMER WALKS 2019
The evening of Monday 15th July 2019 was warm and pleasant for our final walk of the summer which started at The Plough and Harrow, Litlington.  The walk was the best attended of the season, and naturally our keen SSCC photographers took their cameras with them.  A few of the pictures taken on the evening can be seen in the column on the right!
