Our new studio lighting equipment is now in use at the end of 2009. The initial results are very promising.

Women and men of all ages are invited to join us at our meetings on Monday evenings at Whitton Community Centre.

Younger people trying to understand how to use their digital SLRs and Photoshop and needing some friendly advice from others who may have a little more experience in photography are especially welcome.

Our studio evenings are a particularly good way to get to grips with learning how to use your camera. Plenty of help is always available from other photographers.

We hold regular monthly competitons with a few extra competitons for various trophies. Our competitions have judges registered with the Surrey Photographic Association. Mounted prints displayed in the illuminated easel are judged first at 8.00 p.m. followed by judging of projected images (digital and slides) after the break at about 9.00 p.m.

We are told that the standard of our photographs is quite high - a good reason to join and learn from us, and then improve the club standard to new heights.

Look at our programme and see what's on the agenda at our meeting and come along free to Whitton Community Centre between 7.30 and 8.00 p.m. on a Monday evening. The door steward will show you where we meet and introduce you to us. Try our club for a few weeks before you decide if you would like to become a permanent member.

Drinks can be bought by members at club prices from the social club bar. It is a Whitton Community Assocation rule that visitors need to pay a £1 charge to go in the bar so it may be cheaper to join the Association. The membership year of WCA is from February-January and membership in the second half of the year is at half the full annual subscription.
