Is anyone on here......

[philipfirth1983]

a member of the Hyde photographic society?

a friend and I are joining tomorrow and I was just wondering if there was.

Thanks

[macky799]

Nope, what is it

[philipfirth1983]

Nope, what is it

Its kind of like a camera club I think, There had a display in Hyde shopping center with members photo's. They have a internal competition and a few battle competitions with other clubs. They also have people come and do talks and things.

Sounds interesting - not heard anyone mention it before, but doesn't mean no one is.

[howler]

thats the same club that holds their meets on a monday night bowling green street 8pm ish have been hoping to go myself but was hopng to get some feedback first on what its like.

[Busby]

I've been thinking about joining a camera club.
Was thinking of joining South Manchester which is based in Didsbury, but seeings I live only a couple of miles from Hyde, I'd be interested in some feedback also.

Good grief at this rate we could start our own! :)

I did have a brief chat with a chap in Borders in Stockport one day who is a member and he said it had got a bit "stale and crusty" but that some of the younger members were stepping up to the mark and changing things.

Do please let us know how you get on :)

Whilst I'm away at my parents this week...I wouldn't mind joining seeing as how I live there!!

[philipfirth1983]

Will let you all know tomorrow whats it like. Hopefully should be quite interesting and its a bargain only being £1.50 per week. If you want to enter the comps though its £22.00 for the year, which is still quite cheap!!!

[StewartR]

Philip, you'd have been more likely to get a positive response if your thread had had a more helpful title.

[PapaLazarou]

I went along with a mate of mine a few years ago and it was trully crap.
Much better on here.

[Hacker]

Papa, you'll get splinters on your arse if you sit on the fence for too long. :D

Say what you mean, man!


:razz: :lol:

[Chillimonster]

I'm local too, and looking for a decent club.

Let us know how you get on. If it's any good they may be getting an influx of members from the look of it. It will turn into a mini TPf meet every week :lol:

Don't go to Hyde then.
That camera club is the center of weirdness for the entire universe.

You may have just sold it to me. :D

Shame it's so far away. :'(

Perhaps a meet is in order...Anyone up for it?

My grandad just told me he has been in touch with one of the guys who runs it.....bit of a coincidence!! He got me the dates etc.....wouldn't mind going if some of you guys are :)

[Chillimonster]

What dates?

Would be up for it - will be good to meet fellow TPF'ers

Chris

[purpleclouds]

Don't know....I'll enquire later when I pop round!!

[Chrispix]

i wouldn't mind getting together with the northwest TP ers. I'd be happy to travel into manchester or somewhere in greater manchester. Was thinking of joining a local camera club but never quite got round to it.

Just the kind of thread I was looking for!

I was just about to post a thread on Romiley's camera club. I was at Romiley's young farmers show at weekend and was hunted down by a pair of photographers who gave me a leaflet about a competition they are holding. Anyway just want to know id anyone has been to one of their meetings? I've been looking for a local club for a short while now.

Oh and as for a meet, you can count me in ;) Plus the Mrs too as she now uses my old D40!

[Busby]

Jimbob, I was going to go to the farmers show, but never got around to it...Bit of a shame because I only live 5 minutes away!

Love your picture of the judge (http://www.flickr.com/photos/r8jimbob88/2686192420/) from the show.

[depal56]

Looks like you'll soon be able start to form a franchise of TP Photographic Clubs spread around the UK :rules:

[AliB]

OK is there anything on next weekend and perhaps we could set up a meet. Somewhere in the Stockport/Romily/Marple/Hyde area? Or if it suits people to go into Manchester?

Anything specific anyone would like to shoot?

[howler]

I maybe unable to attend the camera club monday but thankyou i hope to eventually but am interested to hear what you think of the club.
but definitely interested in a meet up somewhere like aliB has suggested weekends cool not fussed over where we shoot or what as im just learning how to take the lens cap off :thinking:
