The Western (Isle of Man) Photographic Society

The Western Photographic Society was founded in 1979 by a small group of amateur photographers and is still going from strength to strength.  We are affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain through the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union, and are aided by the Isle of Man Arts Council.

We are a sociable and friendly society of about 40 members and enjoy a wide variety of photography related activities including slide shows, talks, demonstrations and competitions each season, which is from late September to early May.  We also enter competitions between ourselves and other photographic clubs both on and off the Island.  Our meetings are held on Thursday evenings in the Legion Club, Douglas Street, Peel (see the programme page for details) Location Map.  During the summer break we have a variety of social outings.

There is a serious side to the competitions, but the main emphasis at our meetings is to enjoy the evenings event and each others company in a friendly and often jovial atmosphere.  New members are made very welcome and soon make friends.  We are also pleased to welcome non members to any of our meetings, so if you are interested in photography please come along and see us.  Naturally we hope you will wish to return on a regular basis and become a member.  There is no obligation for members to enter competitions, and you don't need to be a good photographer to join us.  Our members have a wide range of abilities from beginner to expert and use film, digital or both.  Whatever our level there is lots to learn, and help and advice on photographic problems is available on club nights.

Membership Fees

The Annual Subscription for 2007-2008 is: Senior £12, Husband and Wife £18, and Junior £1.

If you wish to join our society, come along to one of our club nights and see our Treasurer.
