This is the Home page for the Tandridge Photographic Society (TPS), based in the Tandridge district of East Surrey, centred on Caterham.
This year TPS has once again being making good progress in the SPA Inter-Club Competition for Prints. On Wednesday 12th we won the match against Capel CC (Capel CC 81½ – Tandridge PS 87). So, we now go on to the final, which is being held on Saturday 17th May:
The TPS site has had a minor revamp - a link to our Flickr group has now been added to the menu, in place of the now defunct MSN message board. Any TPS member can join the group by first signing up with Flickr (its free!), and then clicking the Join This Group link on the main TPS page. The Flickr group offers a public showcase for any members pictures, and a private discussion forum (not accessible to non-members).
Another change is that older news items and all recent newsletters have been made available via a new Archive page, referenced at the bottom of the main menu.

As a result of the AGM, there have been some changes in the club committee officers, and these will be posted on the Contacts page shortly.
TPS romps home to win the Finals of the Surrey Photographic Association inter-club Print competition.
In a packed hall on Saturday 12th May in Dorking, members of the 4 finalist clubs - Cranleigh, Guildford, Molesey and Tandridge - watched as TPS prints scored a fantastic 93 points out of 100, beating the runner ups by a clear margin. Three TPS prints were awarded the maximum 10 points (by Jayne Britton, Linda Dance and Gerard Mulryan - well done), and three more scored 9½.
All in all, a great tribute to the resurgence of interest in photography, and the new vitality of our club.
The club newsletter for March has now been published - you can download it here.
The simplicity of digital cameras combined with home computers has opened-up serious photography to a whole new group of enthusiasts. You can now make competition quality pictures without locking yourself in a darkroom for hours on end. The recent increase in the membership of TPS is a testament to the widening interest in the subject.
On Thursday 25th January TPS held its first audio-visual (AV) members evening, for showing AV presentations produced by members using still images and accompanying musical soundtracks. With 12 digital AVs submitted, plus one traditional slideshow, the evening was judged a resounding success, and a tribute to the enthusiasm and talent of our members. More details here.
