About Us
GPS was founded in 1892 with the object of "advancing the art and craft of amateur photography". More than a century later we have not lost sight of this objective. We are a friendly and forward-thinking club which embraces digital methods while respecting traditional skills and techniques. We're proud to have an eclectic membership where we gain knowledge and experience not only from our scheduled events and lectures, but also through our interaction with one another. All are welcome and we encourage members to improve their skills, style and artistic capabilities to allow everyone to do their best. |

We are an active society with over 90 members, ranging from beginners to advanced, all with a shared love of photography.
You will find us to be a friendly group (both young and old) who will welcome you into the club and encourage you to enjoy and improve your photography.

Competitions and Exhibitions
We run a series of internal photography competitions throughout the season. These are divided between print and digital competitions with club, intermediate and advanced classes. We also take part in inter-club competitions where we have gained a good reputation for our photography.
We also run a bi-annual exhibition to show our photography to the wider public. Our next exhibition is due to take place in 2017.
