The first meeting of the Photography Group took place on Tue 23 January 2024 at 14:00-16:00 at the Uphall Community Education Centre.

Following meetings are scheduled for the last Tuesday of every month.

Some basic technical issues will be discussed and members' photographs will be viewed and appraised at this meeting.

Currently, the group is inactive but hopes to start again later in the year. If you feel you would like to join us after the Summer to contribute and improve your photographic skills, contact the Group Leader link.
