The Royal Photographic Society promotes both the art and science of photography. Membership is open to all, whatever level of experience or knowledge. No qualifications are required to join, just a passion and love for one or more of photography’s myriad of genres, technologies and applications. Most of our members join to further their own photography and to embrace the challenge of working towards our world recognized Distinctions (LRPS, ARPS and FRPS) and Imaging Science Qualifications.

The Society has a long and proud History, established as The Photographic Society in 1853 in the pioneering days of photography, it became Royal by decree in 1894 and in 2004 it was presented with a Royal Charter. www.rps.org

The NWPS is a Society for all those with an interest in the natural world and its promotion and portrayal through photography. We are not a traditional camera club and it is not our intention to compete with the many excellent such clubs that exist in Surrey and Sussex. Our aim is to provide a forum and meeting place for those especially interested in both photography and the natural world, be this taking photographs themselves or just seeing and hearing about the work and experiences of others. The club meets on the last Thursday of each month at Warnham Local Nature Reserve visitors centre, Horsham, RH12 2RA, Sussex. www.nwps.co.uk

The BPE exists to encourage photographers to enter exhibitions and to recognize successful entrants via the issue of the Crown Awards photographic distinctions. Exhibition members share ideas, promote each other's exhibitions and generally work together to promote competitive photography. http://www.britishphotographicexhibitions.org.uk/
