The club meets at The Weston Building at Harper Adams University every Tuesday at 7.30pm.
The season started with an AGM, including an introduction of what will be happening through 2022-23, followed by a portfolio of images from the Midland Counties competition. The meeting was a practical workshop evening looking at camera functions and how to get the best out of your camera
The club also had an informal evening looking at images taken by club members over the summer break and learned more about Photoshop techniques.
The club programme runs until July 2023 and the full programme is at newportphotoclub.com
