How to Become a Member of WPS
Joining Wolverhampton Photographic Society is
easy and we invite you to be part of our group
Simply come along to any of our
Tuesday evening club nights at
Windmill Community Hub on
Henwood Road, Compton where you
can complete an application form and
pay your joining fee. You can also use
the link on this page to download and
complete the form in advance to bring
with you. Payment may be by cheque
or preferably bank transfer because we prefer not to accept cash
payments.
How much does it cost to
join?
Membership is £10.00 per
month payable by standing
order. Guests and visitors pay
£5.00 for each visit, though a
higher door free might be
charged for any premium
events.
Do I need to have a fancy
camera to become a
member?
If you intend to take
photographs you will of course
need a camera, but the most
important thing is simply that
you have an interest in photography and a desire to learn and share
ideas and experiences with those who have a similar interest to you.
Our members own a wide range of equipment and some of it is by no
means the top-end of the scale. There are a wide range of interests
too, including landscape photography, portraiture, nature/wildlife,
travel, urban photography, abstract/creative and more. There is also
a group within the club who create audio-visual (AV) presentations
where you set a sequence of photographs to music. Several members
are keen on landscape astrophotography.
I know nothing about the controls on the camera. Is there
something for me?
Yes, definitely! Photography workshops are organised which look at a
wide range of photography-related topics from techniques and skills
to how to process your digital images. There are practical workshops
too and you will find fellow members a rich source of help and
advice. Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop are the most widely
used software titles by WPS members.
What facilities are there at the club?
There is a small car park so you may find it easier to park next to
Sainsbury’s near Compton island and complimentary tea & coffee are
available at the break, but please bring your own mug to save the
washing up.
Do I have to be a member to attend?
You can come along and attend as a visitor by paying a door fee but
we encourage regular visitors to join WPS and therefore gain the
benefit that full membership brings.
What are the benefits of being a member?
•
An interesting programme of events and presentations from
established photographers
•
Exchanging ideas and learning new skills with a group who
have similar interests as yours
•
Viewing, or taking part in, our informal competitions and
formal national competitions
•
Access to regular workshops which focus on specific techniques

•
Being able to participate in organised club visits
•
Improving your enjoyment of photography in an encouraging,
friendly and social environment
As a member, can I bring a someone else as a guest?
Yes of course. Guests simply pay the door fee on the night, but if
attending regularly we would of course recommend becoming a
member, which is the more cost effective option if attending
regularly.
