We meet each week at 8.00pm, from the first Thursday in September to the last Thursday in April, at the British Legion, 16 Hall Croft, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 1EL. Most of our members use digital cameras and we cater for a full range of photographers, from absolute beginners to professionals. We have talks, competitions and open nights.
As from the meeting on 16 September 2021, we are returning to in-person meetings at the British Legion. However, it remains possible that some meetings will have to be on Zoom. Please check this website or the programme to see which events are on Zoom and which at the British Legion.

Programme 2021-2022
We offer both a mixture of speaker nights , club competitions and open evenings.
First time Visitor – We are here to help improve your photography
Come along and try a session to see how it all works. At the club we believe that the best way to be judged is in relation to everyone else so we do not have a separate beginners section but at the end of the season, an award is given to the best beginner of the season. If you are unsure about entering your work in competition with other members then do not be afraid of asking for advice or bring your work along on a club night.
During the season, the club runs various competitions on a monthly basis which give members an opportunity to see their work compared to that of fellow members by an outside independent judge who gives each image a mark out of 20.
There are 4 categories, monochrome and colour print, mono and colour projected digital image (PDI). Members are allowed 1 entry in each category. There are 6 competitions and one themed competition. Scoring uses the best 4 of the competitions plus the theme so the total is out of 100.
Awards are given to winners in each category. Additionally the President has at the option of awarding at their discretion a Best Beginner and Best All-rounder.
There is also the Best of Beeston competition when members choose 4 out of 6 categories to enter digital images.
Finally there is the Hilda Thurman competition when the audience are the judges and vote for their favourite print from members pictures.
The results and winning images can be found under the COMPETITIONS section.
Events – Meet us and let us tell you about the club and what we do
