Membership & subscriptions

Club membership works out to about £1.50 per meeting, which to our members seems pretty good value nowadays for about two hours of education, entertainment and socialising!

You can also save money as a member because we have discount schemes for certain products with the Photovision Services processing shop in Sevenoaks High Street. There are also discounts available with web-based retailers on our Links page. We also have GretagMacbeth colour profiling equipment which members may hire for a modest fee to calibrate their monitor, printer, scanner and digital projector (guidance provided before hiring).

There is no great formality about joining. Either available at the meetings, or here as a downloadable pdf, there is a simple membership form to complete with some basic details about yourself - so our Membership Secretary can keep our records up-to-date. And there is the relevant subscription to pay.

New members

New members are very welcome and if you would like to come along and try us out for a few meetings before deciding to join, please feel free to do so. (But we do ask that you join before entering our competitions.) We are keen to help beginners and the more expert amongst us are always available to give helpful advice.

As well as the social side of meeting and talking with other enthusiasts, a key benefit of our meetings is seeing a wide variety of work, whether ‘competitively’ or not. This helps us all by seeing some of the things that are possible, and giving us new ideas for our own pictures.

Annual subscriptions:

These are due on joining, but if you join after Christmas you only pay half the annual rate for that season.

There is no entry fee to the standard meetings in the programme. We just ask you to sign in as you enter the hall so that we have a record of attendees for health and safety/insurance purposes.
