Focus – Ryde Imaging Group

http://www.focusiw.org/  ESTABLISHED: 1980    MEMBERSHIP: 22

Focus – Ryde Imaging Group was formed more than 20 years ago under the name Ryde Photographic Club. Like many other camera clubs we have sadly suffered a loss of membership in recent years. In 2004 the club changed things to make it more up to date and to actively identify with digital imaging. The club had a new name, found an improved venue at Binstead Community Club and held it’s first Open Day in 2004 to attract more members. The club now has a moderate membership of both men and women from a wide range of ages. Its regular twice monthly meetings at Binstead provide a valuable opportunity for amateur photographers of all levels of skill to take part in competitions, listen to expert advice and discuss all aspects of their hobby. We recently joined the the Southern Photographic Federation and are currently in division 7 in the projected image leagues.
