Meetings
Weekly meetings are held in the St Georges Church, Audley
Road, Folkestone. The hall is compact and modern and ideal
for meetings and discussions as well as providing us with
the opportunity to display prints and project slides on to
a large screen. A Practical/Beginners night is held on six
additional evenings per season at the hall of the Salvation
Army,
The club season starts in mid-September and continues until
May the following year, ending with a Dinner and Awards Night.
A yearly programme is issued to each member detailing the
planned events that are held each Monday evening starting
at 7.45pm. Several outings are arranged to provide members
with the opportunity to practice their photographic skills
whilst enjoying a day out in the countryside or even abroad!
To boost funds we encourage members, when buying on the internet,
to connect through the club site to earn money from affiliate
sites.
Throughout the season well known speakers are invited to
give demonstrations and talks on photography related subjects
A wide range of lectures are provided to assist both the beginner
and the advanced workers.
We arrange inter-member competitions for members to display
their prints and digital images. These are kept within separate
categories of achievements. These competitions cover prints,
portraits, and digitally projected images. With the increase
in digital photography we have increased our competitions
in this category and they now include open, mono and creative.
The entries are judged by suitably qualified judges and the
marks count towards winning an end of season trophy. Each
fully 'paid-up' member receives a Rule Book outlining the
different competitions and trophies that are awarded at the
end of each season at our Annual Dinner and Awards Night.
Battles (friendly rivalry!) with other local clubs are often
held as it is good to see other peoples work, and again discuss
various aspects of photography, as well as making new friends.
 Practical
Evenings
We have a new venue for the coming season and six additional
evenings are arranged where members can practice with the
club's studio lighting equipment either with models or still
life/table top.
It is also an ideal opportunity for new members to get to
know the other members and obtain practical "hands on
experience" where they can also bring along their prints
for discussion and advice in this informal and friendly atmosphere.
There is an additional charge of £1 for this evening
to pay for the hall and a charge for tea and coffee.
There is an active AV Group which meets on the second Thursday
of the month (see programme for dates) in the Yacht Club off
the Durlocks, Folkestone. We teach you how to get to grips
with PTE, Cool Edit etc, we give helpful advice and "critique"
on your sequences. We have projects which we work on and these
are judged by the other members. There is an opportunity to
enter competitions for AV s-- The Nigel Winter Cup held annually
and the KCPA AV competition held Bi- Annually. Come and find
out what AV is all about!
