Tandridge Photographic Society

New Season Approaching!

Do you enjoy taking pictures? Do you have loads of photos stored on your phone or in your laptop that are never looked at? Would you like to do more with them?

Why not come along to the first meeting of our new season to find out what the club does and how being a member could expand your photographic interests?

TPS is a friendly and informal club and aims to help members improve and broaden their photography by sharing skills, knowledge and ideas. Meetings are held at the White Hart Barn in Godstone on Thursdays at 8pm from September to May, (The meeting on the first Thursday of each month held in Godstone Baptist Church Hall). The programme includes illustrated talks and lectures, competition nights, tutorial evenings and outings.

The club invites anyone with an interest in photography, beginner or experienced, to come along and find out more. Visitors and guests pay £5 and the annual subscription is £50.

Here’s a preliminary version of the events programme for our 2017-2018 season. We also  have a list of informal activities taking place over the 2017 summer months, which can be seen here.
