WARRINGTON PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
The Society exists to promote interest among its members in all
photographic matters including digital working. It has about 45 members in total and meets
weekly from September to April. During the Summer Season, the club
meets for walks or outdoor excursions approximately one Sunday
every month, these start from the clubs meeting room.The Society has a varied winter programme of activities, mainly
lectures with prints, transparencies or digital, practical technique
demonstrations, and club competition evenings where members can
exhibit their work in competition. The Society also has an annual
exhibition of member's work.
The Society is not a teaching organisation and does not possess
permanent darkroom or computing facilities. However the advice of experienced members is always available, and
the programme of lectures and demonstrations provides useful
information. The Society encourages all its members at all levels to develop
their photographic skills in digital and/or darkroom working.
The Society is affiliated to the Lancashire and Cheshire
Photographic Union (L&CPU), which provide panels of judges and
lecturers which are used during the winter programme. The
L&CPU also sends a selective entry of prints, slides and
audio/visual to the annual competition organised by the
Photographic Alliance of Great Britiain (PAGB), there are a total
of 14 Federations in Great Britain that make up the alliance. The
results of these competitions are exhibited annually by the PAGB
as the best of British Photography of the year.

an image like the example above?
Why not come along one evening to the Warrington
