Programme 2026

Location

This meeting is in St Peter’s Church Hall, Free Street, Bishop’s Waltham, SO32 1EE

Member’s Forum

We will hold a members’ forum to solicit members’ views on various topics before making firm decisions.  We hope that members will actively participate in shaping our society’s future

The member survey results will also be presented.

We will meet in small groups rather than as one large group. Each group will discuss the same specific questions, with a committee member leading the discussion. We hope this format will help more people share their views.

Topics for discussion should be forwarded to Dan membersrep@bishopswalthamphotosociety.co.uk
