Anyone with an interest in photography, from beginner to expert, is very welcome to join us at any of our meetings, they are open to everyone, not just Rolls Royce employees. Enjoying our hobby, sharing knowledge and helping each other to improve in a friendly atmosphere is what it’s all about for us.
We meet at 7.30pm on Wednesday evenings.
We are very proud to have won the FIAP World Cup for Clubs 2022. This yearly event organised by FIAP is an international competition for clubs around the world. Each club submits 20 images with a maximum of 2 images per author. These images are scored by a panel of international judges. 224 clubs from 48 countries entered the competition and there was a total of 4,385 images.
This was our 9th entry to the FIAP WCFC and we’ve been close on a couple of occasions, so to finally win it is fantastic, especially as this was the only one of the ‘big competitions’ we hadn’t won. It’s great to join Wigan 10, Smethwick and Catchlight on the list of UK winners.
It was also a great bonus for us to win the Maurice Dorikens Trophy for the 3rd time in the last 4 years as this is given out to the club who has performed best in the competition over the previous five years, rewarding a consistently good entry.

Wednesday 3rd May
Madagascar: The Eighth Continent This week our meeting is Zoom only and we will be welcoming Duncan Armour DPAGB & Deborah Armour DPAGB to give their talk Madagascar: The Eighth Continent. Madagascar is remarkable for its range of unique wildlife - 80% of its species of plants and animals are found there and nowhere else on earth. Perhaps most well-known of these are the many species of lemurs and chameleons. This talk starts with an explanation of how this unusual and exotic diversity came to be, explores some of the local customs and modern-day people, before heading into rainforest, spiny forest, and desert in search of plants, bugs, birds, and primates. Along the way, they will be very happy to share tips and techniques for photography in some difficult environments. |
