A message from our President.

Welcome
Thanks very much for visiting our web-site. I hope you like our site and enjoy looking at some of our work. Check out the links too, there's some great photography sites to enjoy.
If you would like to come along to our club nights you are very welcome.

We have visiting lecturers, practical nights, Photoshop tuition, competitions, and occasional visits out.
Digital photography tuition at Chorley has certainly taken off. Gordon who takes the digital imaging classes always manages to make it interesting, enjoyable and fun !!
I'm convinced you'll get your monies worth from the membership on this alone!!
 

Our members have varied levels of experience and a multitude of interests. Some use compact cameras, others the latest digital equipment, and a few still use a traditional SLR camera and print in a darkroom.
Why not come along and give us a try for 2/3 weeks before you pay.
Photography is a fantastic hobby, and has certainly opened my eyes up to the world. I can guarantee that by joining a club your photography will come on in leaps and bounds.
You can either just turn up or give our secretary Glyn a ring on 01257 241515

Either way you are guaranteed a warm welcome.
I look forward to seeing you soon


Lorraine Cross
President
