Lutterworth Photographic Society Co-op

https://www.lutterworthpsc.co.uk/     MEMBERSHIP: 18

The LPS came about in 1972. Jerry Gerderski from New Parks in Leicester ran a night-school in photography at the Lutterworth Grammar School. Initially the main core of the class were "old/ish" ex-photo society members from clubs before they came to Lutterworth. Jerry realising they were fairly knowledgeable suggested they form their own club, hence LPS. Local authority cost cutting measures soon put paid to the evening classes, so the only facilities available to those interested in photography in the Lutterworth area was the LPS, (now LPSC). Founder members were Hector Marchant (President) Albert Whatley (Secretary), Ted Morgan, Geoff Day and our old friend Bill Stott. Meetings were held in class-rooms, designated by the Grammar School, for many of the earlier years, until our move to the present venue. One advantage in the earlier years when the club met at the Grammar School were facilities of a darkroom, adjoining the Art Department.
