Weymouth & District Photographic Society WDPS - Brief details about us. (site updated to 24 Feb 2008)
This is our home page. We are the Weymouth & District Photographic Society. We are a Photographic Society, (or Camera Club to use another description) for all who are interested in Photography in the South West Dorset area around Portland, Weymouth and Dorchester. Photography and the photographic arts, whether undertaken with traditional film cameras or modern digital models, is a wide ranging subject and our group encompasses all. If you are a photographer yourself, or are simply interested in viewing the best work of other photographers and learning from it, come along and join us.
The Society has a varied programme with a mix of speakers and members competitions . These competitions cater for all ability levels, including novice, and in the “unmounted prints” section the only equipment you need in order to enter is a camera! WDPS also compete successfully in various regional and inter-club competitions. For the summer we have a programme of visits to local beauty spots to take photographs and socialise.
We meet weekly on Tuesday evenings from the early Autumn through to early summer with a fortnightly summer programme. Our venue is the Weymouth Rugby Club on Monmouth Avenue in Weymouth. The bar is open for teas, coffees, crisps and licensed drinks on club nights (Tuesdays), The club has ample free parking but is a longish walk from the nearest public transport link. (Bus stops at the Spa Hotel on Dorchester Road) . It is appreciated that this public transport link to the venue would leave visitors with a long walk therefore if you wish to attend, but have no car, please contact one of the two numbers below as arrangements for a lift may well be possible.
- So to sum up - what are we - a camera users club - where/when do we meet - Tuesday evenings at 7:30 at the Weymouth Rugby Club.
