How is your club different from a traditional one?
We are the club that comes to you. There are 32 Circles with around 12 members in each, open to members countrywide and beyond. We have 14 Print Circles that use postal folios issued on a monthly rota system. Two of these are dedicated Monochrome Circles, one of which is for darkroom prints only.
We have eight PDI Circles that operate again using folios issued on a monthly rota system. There are two dedicated Natural History Circles and one dedicated to images taken using a phone or tablet, all the others are open. We have an AV Circle; the members produce four AVs a year. During the pandemic, our Zoom Circles were born. They are discussion-only groups that meet once a month. Besides the open Zoom Circles there are two Infrared Circles, two Monochrome Circles and two Circles dedicated to panels. Each Circle is autonomous and run by a Circle Secretary. We are affiliated to Surrey Photographic Association.
