About Us

PHPC is a medium-sized club of around 40-50 members. Our members range in skill from enthusiastic novices to experienced photographers. The club has a few members who are judges.

We have a number of members who run the mentoring program for our newer members to learn the capabilities of their camera(s). We are large enough to support the growth of members but small enough to be a community, where all members can know each other. The club is here to challenge us to get the best from ourselves and our cameras

Alan update

Hi all

Yesterday Alan had a big operation to replace all his wiring for his pacemaker, which is where the infection came from. I haven’t got anything else to add, if more comes through I will keep you informed. He is in the San hospital and will be there for 6 weeks. Due to covid I don’t think he can have visitors – if this changes I will let you know.

Stay well and have a wonderful Christmas everyone and I look forward to seeing you all in 2022.

A member update

Hi members,

Just letting you know that Alan Torrens is in hospital with a MRSA bug. I tried to speak with Alan but reception is poor in the hospital so we have been texting. He says he feels ‘ok except for a sore back’. Unfortunately we can’t visit but I have wished him a speedy recovery and will keep you informed of his progress.

Please take care over the holidays and stay well.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our members and family.

Dear members,

2021 will soon be over and it has been another interesting year which we have managed to get through. Thankfully our photography has been able to continue via zoom. Thank you to our members for their continue support and understanding in this difficult time.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our committee members for their dedication to keeping the club moving forward.

On behalf of the committee we would like to wish you and your family a healthy and happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

What’s Happening 7th February 2022:

  • We will (hopefully) return face-to-face.
  • 2021 Poster Competition – this is a PRINTED competition and due to low entries we have decided to keep this OPEN to Saturday 5th February – The Poster Competition is limited to a maximum of two prints per author where the image must exceed a 40.6cm x 50.8cm rectangle in at least one dimension – no A4 prints will be accepted. There is no maximum size. No framed, wood mounted, or glass mounted prints are permitted however the poster can be printed on canvas and stretched across a frame. Judging will be via members.
  • 2021 Presentation of Awards
  • Members who entered the printed competitions are to bring in works from 2021entries for viewing – 2 prints per person.
  • and a long awaited chat with a cuppa and biscuit!

I look forward to seeing you in 2022.
