Wrekin Arts Photographic Club

Wrekin Arts Photographic Club meets every Friday throught the year, with the

exception of Christmas and in addition there are special interest groups meeting

at other times. The club was formed in 1977 by people with a common interest in

photography who wished to meet and share their enjoyment of picture taking.

The same is true today, over 25 years later, and several of those founders are still

regular members. The club actively supports Regional, National and International

Exhibitions and Competitions with some members successfully submitting work

in many overseas countries.

Wrekin Arts Photographic Club caters for all aspects of Photography, new

members and visitors are always welcome whether they be new to the hobby or

active professionals. There is a comprehensive programme of events, lectures,

demonstrations and displays from some of this countries top photographers.

There are, in addition, highly enjoyable "members" evenings, which tend to have

a lighter touch! The objective of the club is simply to increase the enjoyment of

photography. Members wishing to improve their techniques will find many of our

more experienced members always willing to offer practical help and advice.

Wrekin Arts Photographic Club has a comprehensive photographic book library

for members' use which is being constantly updated with the latest publications. The book choice

covers a wide range of interests and techniques and is possibly the most comprehensive

photographic book library in Shropshire. We are also fortunate to have good facilities

for disabled members with easy access for wheelchairs; the whole club premises are on

the ground floor. Visitors and potential members are welcome to join us on any Friday

evening during the "Club Year" { See Program Page }.

There is no obligation to join the club and we suggest that potential members come first

as visitors - a warm welcome assured - before making any decision about joining. The

meetings start at 8pm prompt, so as a courtesy to other members and guests, please

ensure you arrive a short time beforehand.

Wrekin Arts Photographic Club is a member of THE BELFREY ARTS CENTRE and

affiliated to THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ALLIANCE of GREAT BRITAIN through THE MIDLAND
