Member’s Evening – Every Picture Tells a Story

Date: November 20, 2025

Time: 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Member's Evening

The idea of this member’s evening is simple – We’d like you to select (up to) three of your photographs that mean a lot to you and then tell us the story behind them? We’d like to hear what makes them so special to you? They can be photographs of anything: family, friends, events, milestones, holidays, competition successes or anything at all. You could even grab a framed print or a canvas off your living room wall.

If you’d like to take part, please email Leigh (leigh.woolford@gwynfa.org.uk) and tell him how many images you’d like to bring and whether they’ll be PDI or print.

There are no sizing or mounting restrictions for either print or PDI. We only need to know if prints will be bigger than our usual size so we can arrange an appropriate method of displaying them!

On the night we’d like you to tell us about them, two or three minutes per image would be ideal. You don’t necessarily have to stand up in front of the club, although it would be easier if you could. Anyone who doesn’t fancy that bit can prepare a script to be read out by our resident voice-over artist, Alec Stewart.

We’re giving you plenty of time to think about the photos and stories you’d like to share. You don’t need to send the images in advance, just bring them on the night.

Guest Speaker

The return of the multi award winning British actor and photographer. Perhaps best known for playing builder Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street and James Barton, in Emmerdale, Bill will share how he photographs the wet stuff in all its glory. From waterfalls to seascapes, urban canals to mountain streams, Bill leaves no stone unturned in his quest to uncover the mysteries of H2O, and how we as photographers can unlock its full potential.
