Classes are tutored by Gary Orgles of 'Go Photography' in Newark. The classes cater for all abilities and levels of experience.

This is a friendly class learning together and supporting each other. If you don't have a camera, you can arrange the loan of one. Everyone helps each other and Gary helps us all! It is a fun, social activity where you learn at your own pace and take the photos you want to take - but achieve better results than you ever thought possible! Each class has a theme, so it is possible for people who work shifts to come when they can - and the support of class members makes it easy to catch up. There are photographic trips and opportunities which are often shared with the members of Gary's classes at Newark where you can explore new techniques and meet new people.

The fees are £15 registration charge per term plus £5.00 per session for each class.

For more information please call 01777 871506 or come along on a Wednesday morning. If you have not been before, please call to discuss. There is a possibility of a new absolute beginners class and also a photo processing class subject to sufficient numbers.
