When & Where we meet

When

The Club meets from September through to May on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month (except public holidays). Meetings start at 8.0 pm (people usually arrive from about 7.45pm) and finish by 10.0 pm. We pause for a coffee and chat around half-way. See the Current Programme page for this season's meeting dates.

Where

Location map of Mencap Hall, meeting place of the Club

Meetings are held at the Mencap Hall, 71 Hitchen Hatch Lane, Sevenoaks, TN13 3AY. There is ample parking space in the road. The hall itself is not visible from the road, being set back up a short drive, but this map should enable you to find us.

For a map covering a wider area around the Hall, see this Google Map.

Other information

New members are very welcome and if you would like to come along for one or two meetings before deciding to join, please feel free to do so. 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.

We do sometimes have extra meetings on a '3rd Monday' in a month. These tend to be arranged at shorter notice, are usually organised and presented by our own members, and are fairly informal sessions. They may include demonstrations of techniques, illustrated talks, or in fact anything for which there is both a demand and willing participants/presenters.
