Notice of change of venue for
8th October 2025 Meeting
We will be meeting at the YHA London Lee Valley at 2.00pm for a walk round the Lee Valley Park to take pictures for next month.
Our group usually meets at the Tesco Community Room on the second Wednesday in every month. Tea and coffee provided courtesy of Tesco.
Following our photo shoot at Hertford last month, our meeting in November will be on Wednesday 12th November at 2:00pm in the Community Room at Tesco Brookfield. This will be an opportunity to review your photos from Hertford and any others you wish to show. Please bring your photos on a memory stick.
At our August meeting we had a photo session in Hertford. Hertford offered the opportunity of urban photos, plus the castle and grounds, also the canal and River Lee.
If you want to join our friendly group of amateur photographers, please visit our table at the main meeting.

The group met for an informal chat about all things photographic on Thursday 10th March. We also went on a photographic outing on the 16th March to the Tate Modern.

The group met at St Albans cathedral for a practical photo shoot. We spent a couple of hours inside the cathedral followed by tea and cake at one of the many cafes in St Albans town centre. A zoom meeting will be held to review our photos in the near future. Warning to all motorists: don’t go to St Albans, it’s a nightmare.
We are hoping to organise a group visit to Lea Valley to do some bird photography. I will be in touch with members to finalise a date for a zoom meeting to review these photographs and the St Albans shoot in October.
