This is our outline program for a series of photographic outings and visits planned for society members for 2026. These events are ‘members only’. If you are not a member and interested in taking part in a visit the club is very welcoming to photographers of all abilities. Information about membership can be found on other pages on the website
At the moment some of the planned outings are provisional so please check on the right hand text box for up to date information.
The Outings Programme for this year is under development with an aim of arranging a monthly visit of photographic interest to all members, from the more advanced photographers to those who are at the start of their photographic journey. As with all club activities the success depends on two things: the willingness of members to arrange a visit, and just as importantly, the support of members in coming along to the activities.
One of the benefits of group outings is the opportunity to get know other members and share as well as gain knowledge and experience.
Hopefully some of the activities from previous years can be repeated, and I will be approaching previous ‘leaders’ to see if they are prepared to lead an outing (or 2?) this year. New areas which could be developed include Astrophotography, possibly around March, April, September and October. These are times when darkness falls relatively early and its not too cold temperature-wise.
Hopefully most visits will end at a pub or cafe for some refreshments.
Outings Calendar for 2026
Saturday 28th February
Anyone interested in an outing to Himley on Saturday morning from 10am until lunchtime, as described at Thursday’s meeting. The weather forecast is reasonable and a few members have ‘signed up’ for the outing. On Wednesday narcissi were blooming and some daffodils were common into coming into bloom. There was plenty of wildlife around with birds and squirrels. We will have a wander around the grounds and lake, and followed by tea or coffee afterwards. Parking at Himley is £3.50 for two hours. Meet at the car park at 10am.
A copy of the draft programme is posted below:
