Photographic Workshops 2008
Why not come and learn photography at a photographic course at our friendly club in Chingford, Waltham Forest in North East London?
2008 will be the first year that we will be running a series of photographic workshops. Our aim is to take some of the mystery out of photography for novice photographers, although more experienced photographers should also benefit from attending.
The series of workshops will be run on a very informal basis for a total of 6 Monday evenings, from 8pm to 10pm at our club premises - Location here or on the 'MAP' link at the top of the page.
To gain full benefit from the workshops, participants should attend all of the evenings.
The total cost for joining the workshops will be £60 for the 6 weeks, or £50 if paid in advance. Included in the cost will be all 6 workshops PLUS full membership of the society for a period of 6 months commencing after the final workshop.
