Not saying I'm amazing or even that good but I do know my night photography so if anyone ever want's a talk on that I'd give it ago
I've never really got into the who club thing, mainly because our local one has quite a waiting list :bang:
A bit far for us, Matthew, but good on you for coming forward - there are a lot of good photographers who are easily capable of providing an evening of entertainment to a club.

I am a secretary at Batley Camera Club in West Yorkshire and we are looking for people to give talks etc, good ones are becoming harder to find. It goes without saying that all are welcome at the club.
Anyone interested can drop me a PM.
Seriously? A waiting list to join a camera club?
Is that unusual or the norm?
I've never been a member of a camera club, but was thinking of joining one in the future. Maybe naively, I just assumed I could turn up.
I had the same problem here in North Wales last year, Ian, and do not expect it will be any easier this year.
Part of the problem is the list of lecturers in the NWPA directory is getting smaller as people get older and stop giving lectures, and these people do not seem to be being replaced. There are really some good lecturers out there who are willing to travel, but with charges of £100 or so for an evening, plus travelling costs, this becomes prohibitive to small clubs.
There is the possibility of lecturers from your own club swapping nights with lecturers from other clubs, and also there are cd's available from the RPS, PAGB, etc with judges giving their opinions on the images shown. These cd's are always good to have in the event of a no-show by someone, plans do go wrong for us all at times.
Perhaps there is a chance of a list of judges and lecturers, along with areas they are willing to cover, to be created as a sticky on TP? I know several programme secretaries who would appreciate such a resource. I will RTM this post so that the mods see it, you never know!

You've clearly not seen the distances I'll drive just to take a photo
You're heading to Settle for some night photography in July, aren't you? Maybe could string something together for then? Batley's on the corner of the M1 and M62.
chilliz said:I`ll keep you posted over the next few weeks mate, the only thing that concerns me is the distance you would need to travel, but these things can usually be sorted.
