About SPS

Officials 2008 – 2009

Our purpose

The purpose of our society is to promote the interests of individuals and groups in photography in all its forms; to enable individuals to compare their work with that of others; to encourage and promote mutual improvement through educational opportunities, critiques, competitions, interchange of ideas, fellowship and association with other individuals, clubs and societies. The society is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) through the Yorkshire Photographic Union (YPU).

Membership

We are a small friendly club and welcome new members from the absolute beginner to the experienced photographer. Women are strongly represented in our membership and regularly do well in our competitions. Enthusiasm and a love of photography is more important than possessing the latest equipment.

We meet in the Public Library in the centre of Stocksbridge and membership is open to everyone. Our fees are £30 a year with any additional family members paying £15 a year.

You are welcome to come along to a few meetings to see how you like us. We are sure you will find it interesting and rewarding and that it will improve your photography.
