Membership
There are two classes of membership of the Photo Group - Full and Associate - with reduced rates for students aged 18 or under and full family members. Current rules for members can be found on the Notice Board or obtained from The Secretary. Associate membership is reserved for the spouses of members. Associate members are able to attend all main club functions, but not any of the specialist groups. They cannot enter club competitions, vote at the AGM or use any of the Group's equipment. A list of all members, addresses and telephone numbers is given to all members each year. If membership exceeds the capacity of our meeting facilities, Associate members may be requested to resign their positions to allow further active members to join the Group.
Joining and Fees
Prospective members are welcome to come along to a few meetings to see whether they would enjoy the activities. There is a membership secretary who will endeavour to introduce you to members and to make sure your stay is as pleasant as possible. You will be given the names of two members to whom you can turn for any advice or help on the Group's activities. If you know someone who is already a member almost certainly he/she will be there as a supporter. Most members are more than willing to give help and advice on any aspect of photography should you need it. Fees are due September and are determined by the membership at the AGM of the previous year. New members are required to pay a small joining fee. Members joining part way through the year pay a proportion of the fee - for the year September 2007 to August 2008 the fees are:
