Our programme runs from September to May and we meet on alternate Wednesday evenings, with outings and activities during the summer.
Welcome to the new season, with an introduction to the society and what lies ahead this season, followed by the Mike Goldie Trophy competition. The theme is ‘Flowers’ and last year’s winner Brian Green will judge the entries (digital only, maximum of three images).
Please also bring some digital images of “What I Did This Summer” to share after the break. Bring all images on a memory stick at the start of the evening.
Bring your camera for this practical workshop session – theme to be decided.
The ideal opportunity to try something new, mingle and swap ideas and advice.

A sociable evening with a twin purpose :
The ‘Digital Art‘ competition is a chance to showcase your ‘arty’ or quirky ideas and creativity with processing and effects, followed by explanations and demonstrations of how some of the images were created (this is entirely voluntary but always appreciated). You may enter up to five images.
Then we will view everyone’s latest digital images from around the island for the annual calendar project. Remember we need ‘Manx Scenes‘ of all seasons and from all locations, not just the south of the island!
Images should be emailed to the usual address no later than Saturday evening, 13th March. Please send Digital Art entries and calendar images on separate emails to avoid confusion and title your emails accordingly (‘Digital Art’ or ‘Manx Scenes’).
