the club on the bay

We all need inspiration sometimes. In the panel below there is a list of events organised by the southern region of The Royal Photographic Society. If anybody would like to attend any of the events below, contact Mike Rooke, SSDCC Chairman, and we can see if we can organise a car share to keep travel costs to the minimum.

NEW SEASON STARTS ON TUESDAY 18th SEPTEMBER!!

The Club meets again at The Pavillion in a few weeks time. As always, it's all about the pictures. We have our "Holiday Knockout" competition - the theme this year being "An A -to Z Challenge". We'll get a chance to see what we have all been up to during the summer break. Last year we challenged ourselves to show off some holiday snaps and a surprising number of destinations had been visited.

The images on this Home Page are from last year's opening night.

The first evening we will also present to members the club's selected images that will have been submitted to the Southern Counties Photographic Federation for the Inter-Club League Division 5. This is always a tough competition, but we hope to repeat or improve on last year's result, where we came 4th out of 8 clubs.

Make sure you visit us at least once a week to look our latest images and pick up news of anything happening on the Island that might be of interest to photographers, including those of you just visiting the Isle of Wight.

We often get asked by photographers visiting from elsewhere to advise them on the best locations here for various types of photography. We are always pleased to help if we can. Go to the Contact Us page and send us a message. We would like to hear from you.
