My own experience with a local camera club was rather mixed really. Yes, I was made welcome but it's a fairly small club with less than 20 members and the most that ever attended was about 10 or 11. My major crib was with the competitions. One member used to come in with a large portfolio of photos, have a look at what every one else had put up and then decided what he would put up. The other case thing was with another member who entered a photo that I felt sure I’d seen before but couldn’t remember where. A few days later I was looking at a holiday brochure (or dream mag as I call them), and there it was – a picture taken to so one of the places for a Norwegian cruise. The next meeting I asked the guy if he enjoyed his visit to Norway and he said that he’d never been there … opps … … … …
As it was Jan and I were due to move away from the area just after that so that was the last time I attended the club.
