Welcome

 

Welcome to the Southend-on-Sea Photographic Society’s web site, which incorporates a selection of the members’ work. We hope that you will enjoy viewing the images.

 

The Society embraces all who are interested in photography, whether young or old, beginner or experienced. And we value both traditional photography and digital imaging.

 

The site gives details of members' events from time to time, together with the syllabus for the 2007/08 season from September 2007 to May 2008.

 

The subscription for the 2007/08 season is to be £16.

The entrance fee on each meeting night (inclusive of tea or coffee) is £1.

For non-members the entrance fee on ‘special’ nights (those asterisked

on the syllabus)  will be £3, with £2 deducted from the membership

subscription if the visitor joins the Society.

Visitors may attend on up to three occasions before joining the Society.

 

 

If you are interested in joining the Society, or would like further information, please contact us.

Historic Roots

 

 

The Society was founded in 1900. A letter written to the "British Journal of Photography" dated November 1900 was as follows -

 

To the Editor,

Yesterday evening a new Photographic Society was inaugurated,

to be called Southend-on-Sea Photographic Society. Mr. Bullivant, Principal of the Ascham College, Westcliff-on-Sea, kindly placed a room at the disposal of the members until more suitable accommodation could be found. As there was no organisation of the kind in this district it should be a success                                                    signed Edward Dunmore
