Saturday 7th February 2026 – Colin Trow-Poole FRPS, MPAGB, FIPF with Prints and Panels
Colin’s photography spans forty years, and his affection is for the simple distillation of images, particularly those with a strong narrative power. His strong subjects are often selectively composed, and with the sensitively use of lighting and tonal gradations, for a more evocative and thought-provoking final image. Colin will be presenting prints, including panels of work, some having been awarded distinctions at the RPS.
Saturday 11th April 2026 - Margaret Sailsbury, FRPS, MFIAP, FIPF, FSITTP, FSINWP, AWPF, APAGB with ’50 years of photography’
Margaret is really delighted to visit our Monochrome Group. Bringing us a special collation of pictures spanning her personal ’50 years of photography’. Margaret believes that taking photographs is a privilege, but most of all is the people she meets and friends she has made. She sums up by saying “next to her family and friends, photography is the love of her life”.
Saturday 13th June 2026 - Sean Goswell, on Mindfulness
We look forward to Sean visiting us after several attempts over the last couple of years. Sean will share his passion about mindfulness in photography and the effect it has on both wellbeing and mental health. Sean writes...’Stopping, Pausing and Observing, by slowing down and being in the moment, even the simplest things can become both interesting and beautiful.’
Saturday 1st August 2026 – Several Inhouse Presentations!
Following the success of our visit from Dorset Monochrome Collective, we realised how enjoyable a mix of short personal presentations can be.
So, we now encourage our own attendees to volunteer in advance and advise us what they could cover in a twenty-minute slot. Showing your latest images, sharing a personal project or just a place special to you. Do let us know what you could offer?
