Our formal programme of meetings has now ended, but we carry on!
A schedule of informal pub meetings has now been published - if you are not already a member, feel free to come along anyway and see what we are like in person.

We are pleased to announce that, as part of our 50th Anniversary Season of events, we are planning a very special Evening with Charlie Waite - the internationally renowned landscape photographer. The event takes place on Friday 1st November, and tickets are now on sale to the general public at £10 each. Tickets may be purchased by cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal. Our events website www.tpsinfo.org.uk gives full details of the event, and has an online booking facility.

The event, which should be both entertaining and inspirational, will have wide appeal and everyone is welcome. You can see examples of Charlie Waite's work at www.charliewaite.com.

Owing to illness, the speaker planned for May 16th has cancelled her talk. Instead, we are going to have a tutorial evening, on picture taking and editing. We hope it will still be light, and dry, for the first half of the evening. If it is, we will encourage members to go into Godstone to take a few pictures, NOT using ‘P’ on their camera - using different apertures, shutter speeds, and ISOs. In the second half we will move inside, and demonstrate some basic editing on the images you have taken or brought with you. Please bring a camera, memory card, and/or memory stick with some images on. You may also need a tripod if it is twilight. This is an interactive evening to try and help you improve your photography.

The next Lindley Room meeting for May 2nd has now been relocated to the Scout HQ on Godstone Green, in order to provide more space. This is a chance to learn about studio lighting and portraiture in an interactive workshop, so please bring along your camera, and maybe a tripod. All other equipment will be provided. There will also be a chance to practice still life. See the programme for location details.

The subjects for the next two meetings to be held in the Lindley Room have now been fixed - see the programme for details. Please remember that space is at a premium, so only attend if the subject matter is particularly relevant to you. Contact the speaker if in doubt.

Just a reminder that meeting are now scheduled to start at 8:00 pm in the White Hart Barn, so please try and arrive well before then.

The 2013/14 Season, starting next September, will be the Club's 50th Anniversary Season. This will be marked in a number of ways and we are pleased to announce that the first event to be organised is An evening with Charlie Waite. This will take place on Friday 1st November 2013. Details are on the flyer which can be accessed via this link: hhttp://www.tpsinfo.org.uk/.

The event will have wide appeal and will be open to all your friends and family. Please tell them now so that they can put the date in their diaries.

Tickets will go on sale at the end of April.

A Happy New Year to all our members - past and present. Lets hope its a good one for photography (a bit less rain might help)!

A reminder that our first meeting of the year, on January 10th, has been relocated to the Scout Hut just across Godstone Green from the Barn- see the programme for details.

We have an Out & About visit to 2 key photographic exhibitions in London this month - see the Out & About page for details.

New guideleines for submitting prints or PDI's for competition entries have been added to the site - click here, or choose the Submissions Guidelines option on the Competitions page.

Two changes have been made to the programme events in November.
The subject of our Lindley Room meeting on Nov 1st has been changed to be a Print Mounting workshop, especially targetted at our newer members. This will be a hands-on opportunity to learn the best techniques and tools for mounting prints for competitions.

On Nov 15th, although we cannot have the White Hart Barn, due to an election, we have secured the use of an alternative venue, not far away in South Godstone, for a talk by Tony Riley on using Adobe Lightroom.
See the programme for details.

Our new season has got off to a roaring start in our new premises, with many new members, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere. There are still quite a few teething problems to solve, but the prospects for the coming year look very encouraging, with record numbers entering the competitions. Its not too late to join the club...

John Howard has now taken over responsibility for arranging the Out & About outings, and the first trip of the season will be on Tuesday 23rd October, to Sheffield Park - sorry about late posting - your webmaster has been away in the USA!

The programme for the 2012-13 season is now almost completed, bar a few late changes in the pipeline. Visit the Programme page to see the details of our up and coming selection of competitions, entertainment and tuition. Hopefully we offer something for everyone, from beginners to advanced photography workers, and all in our hugely improved new premises in Godstone.
If you're thinking of joining, then come along and see our stand at the Godstone Fete, or attend the introductory meeting on September 13th.

The 2012 season is now closed, and we have had our last meeting at the Caterham Community Centre. Our meetings for the 2013 season start again in September, and will all be in the bigger and in all ways better White Hart Barn in Godstone. We look forward to seeing many new members join our expanding club - we've now got the space!

Although formal meetings have ceased, we have a busy summer programme as usual, with pub meetings, exhibits at local fairs (starting with Warlingham Fair on Sat 16th June), and Out & About days. The next Out & About is to sunny Suffolk. Check the details by following the links above.

The May Out & About day is on Sunday 27th May when we will be visiting Trafalgar Square. See here for details.

A reminder to all members that the 13th Annual General Meeting will take place at 8.15 pm. on Thursday 31st May at the WHITE HART BARN, off HIGH STREET, GODSTONE, RH9 8DT.
Items for the Agenda should reach the Honorary Secretary not later than Thursday 17th May. Nominations for Chair, Vice Chair, Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer and Committee members should be returned to the Secretary by 17th May - Nomination Forms are available from the Secretary.

The April Out & About day is on Tuesday 3rd April when we will be visiting the SPA Biennial Exhibition in Guildford. See here for details.

Our next Out & About day is on Sunday 11th March with a visit to Chatham Dockyard. See here for details.

Also, we're very happy to now report that our negotiations with an alternative venue for our meetings have now been successful and we will be moving to the White Hart Barn in Godstone for the 2012-13 season. More details will appear here in due course, but this venue is far superior to our current location, with ample parking, much more meeting space, and much better facilities.

Our next Out & About day is on Feb 4th at Wisley RHS Gardens. See here for details.
Also, we're sorry to report that our earlier negotiations with an alternative venue for our meetings have met a temporary setback, but we are still looking! If anybody knows a suitable venue within the Tandridge district, please contact the club Chairman.

A Happy New Year to all our members, current, past and future!
A short reminder that our first proper meeting of the new year is on Jan 12th, when we have an exhibition and discussion of members pictures taken on the various Out & About days. But before that, on Wednesday 11th, there is another Out & About day at Kensal Green Cemetery in London. See here for details.
