The following
Groups, some of which have been in existence for more than thirty years,
represent an integral part of the Society's activities. Most are held on a
regular basis at member’s homes on specific Fridays during the Winter Season.
The informal nature of the meetings is conducive to friendly discussion, the
dissemination of advice, and a chance to meet other members of the Society. Much
of the Society’s success can be attributable to the work done by the Groups. All
members of the Society are entitled to take part in the Group activities, but
for some Groups an additional nominal subscription is charged.
The Colour Group provides a forum for members,
particularly beginners, to show and discuss their colour slides on an informal
basis. Members are encouraged to talk about their own slides, and to take part
in informal competitions judged by the members present.- all helping to effect
improvements in the standard of the work produced.
Another long running Group originally formed to give
print workers a chance to meet, exchange ideas, and
discuss all aspects of print making. Although still giving continued
support to members making prints via traditional means, the Group has now
encompassed print making via the computer. Members of the Group, from beginners
to advanced workers, are encouraged to bring along work for general discussion
under the guidance of the Convenor. There is an excellent exchange of ideas as
to equipment, materials, and techniques and, with its high level of expertise,
the Group is able deal with the majority of likely queries from the selection,
production, and mounting, of prints for competition or exhibition purposes
