Please note change of date and time.

We have booked Malham Village Hall for this visit, on the basis that if the weather is fine we can use it as a base to get out and take photographs and if not then at least we can be indoors. There are facilities for making hot drinks, so bring sandwiches for lunch, and members can choose to stay on during the afternoon if they wish.

There will be a small charge to cover the cost of hiring the hall.

Amy Bateman is a freelance photographer who lives on a farm in Cumbria and whose life through a lens came after having children. Having giving up her previous career to look after them at home on the farm, the camera went with her capturing their early years. She is now thrilled to be pursuing a career as a photographer, and thoroughly enjoys capturing light, memories and making the important details stand out.

For more information and to see more of her work visit https://amybatemanphotography.com/

Members will show and talk about the photographs they would choose to take to a desert island.

Gallery: "Photojournalism". Your chance to have a go following Charlotte Graham's talk.

Everybody goes to Stainforth Force for the salmon, but it's still there for the rest of the year so we'll give it a go in early spring.

Details will be published nearer the time.

All the fun of the - - - AGM!

Gallery: "Down on the Farm". Photographs inspired by Amy Bateman's talk.

We are hoping to arrange a Photography Workshop, details will be published as soon as possible.

Elaine Newington-Ward is the member who produces a seemingly endless stream of creative posters advertising our meetings and events, and tonight she will tell us how she does it.

Gallery: "Your Choice". No set theme, so submit any picture which you're bursting to show off and talk about.

We paid our first visit to Parceval Hall as a Group last autumn, and highly enjoyable it was. Everybody said we should really go there again in the spring for the flowers, so that's exactly what we'll be doing

It's almost mid-summer so you might like to take advantage of the evening light to tgake photographs around Settle. Alternatively there will be a "Camera Clinic" for members who might wish to learn more about their cameras.

Gallery: "A Camera Technique". This is all about making a photograph which is out of the ordinary but achieved totally in-camera. So no Photoshop trickery, just  camera trickery such as use of long or short shutter speeds, camera movement, or any other creative way of using a camera you can think of.

Salt Lake Quarry is a small quarry situated beside the railway about a mile south of Ribblehead station. Although small it's full of interest, with a wide variety of fauna and flora to capture.

This is the day when all the pictures for the annual Exhibition are collected up ready for the "Town Trail". Bring along the pictures you will be entering for the exhibition, either framed or you can frame them on the day.

A Panel is a collection of photographs designed to hang together as a set, so telling the viewer more than can be said by a single picture. Tonight we will look at examples of members panels and hear how to go about creating a panel of your own.

Gallery: "The Great Outdoors". We live in a wonderful part of the country, so this should be easy! Rumour has it there are also other outdoor places which aren't too bad, so there should be plenty of scope for this one.

We've been here before, on a glorious hot sunny day, so how will it be this time? Whatever, it's the kind of place which will be well worth a second visit, whether to explore a corner you missed last time, to try again for a shot you wish you'd taken before, or even just because the light and weather are almost bound to be different. And if you haven't been before then now's your chance.

Meet at Ashfield car park to help distributing the exhibition around the shops. It's usual to enjoy a convivial coffee break afterwards!

Margaret and Rod Smith will talk about and demonstrate aspects of processing images, not just how to make changes but why you might want to make them in the first place.

Gallery: "The Great Indoors". Indoors could mean at home, or other buildings, or anywhere that's not outdoors.

Meet in Skipton for some photography as the light fades and the lights start coming on.

Meet at Ashfield car park to collect our pictures back from the shops ready for the exhibition.

Willing volunteers (or press-ganged members, it doesn't matter which) required in the morning to set up the stands and lights ready for hanging the pictures.

Ditto in the afternoon to hang the pictures and get everything ready for:

19:30 for 20:00 - all members and partners/guests invited for the opening of the Exhibition. A chance to admire our work, enjoy some good comapny, plus Drinks and Nibbles!

The exhibition will be open to the public Saturday/Sunday/Monday 29th to 31st August. Volunteers will be needed to act as Stewards.

Volunteers needed to take it all down and put away. It's also very helpful if members can collect their pictures.

Just what it says on the tin, we'll be enjoying some short presentations made by members.

Gallery: "Outside the Box!". Think outside the box and let's see pictures you wouldn't normally take. Health warning - this will probably mean venturing outside your comfort zone, but it's quite safe!

Always well worth a visit, and we haven't been for a while.
