Committee

Malcolm - Chairman & Wildlife Ninja: Malcolm has skilfully chaired the club for the past five years, all while crafting our online presence as the club’s trusty webmaster. Known to many as the "wildlife ninja," Malcolm is often spotted stealthily navigating fields, camera poised, capturing elusive creatures in their natural habitat.

Mike & Mark – Programme Partners & Bag-Toting Photo Duo
Mike and Mark have joined forces as our new programme secretaries, stepping in to plan an exciting calendar of talks, workshops, and photographic adventures. Long-time photo buddies, they are rarely seen without their impressively large camera bags — rumoured to contain enough kit to rival a small studio. Between them, they’re a double act of ideas, enthusiasm, and the occasional friendly debate about whose lens is bigger. With Mike and Mark in charge, you can expect our programme to be packed, polished, and maybe just a little fun !!

Karen - Treasurer & Puddle Photographer: Karen, our treasurer, keeps the club’s finances in perfect balance …right down to the last penny. But outside of budgeting and payments, she’s best known for her unique approach to photography, which often involves standing fearlessly ankle-deep in puddles to capture the perfect shot on her iPhone. Rain or shine, Karen’s always finding beauty in the reflections (both financial and photographic)!

Phil – Equipment Guru & Keyholder to the Great Unknown
Phil has taken over as our equipment manager and, as a newcomer to the club, is bravely getting to grips with the mysterious cupboard of kit that has been passed down through generations. Lenses, tripods, cables — you name it, Phil can probably find it… eventually. Just don’t be surprised if he also discovers the occasional mystery item whose purpose no one can quite remember. If you need gear, Phil’s your man — though you might have to endure a tale or two about where it’s been hiding all these years!

Debbie - Health & Safety Officer & Butterfly Enthusiast: Debbie is our diligent Health & Safety Officer, keeping the club’s activities running smoothly and safely—because even photographers need someone to watch their step! Debbie's other passion involves tiptoeing through meadows, chasing delicate butterflies with her camera in hand.  Her knack for finding calm in the flutter of wings is a gift to the club, bringing both safety and serenity to our adventures.

Dawn – Publicity Pro, Social Media Guru & Portrait Perfectionist
Dawn has stepped into Pete’s shoes as our go-to publicity wizard, but she’s also bringing her own digital sparkle as the club’s social media guru. When she’s not keeping our Instagram buzzing with likes, shares, and witty captions, Dawn is busy perfecting the art of portrait photography. Armed with her camera and a natural knack for making people smile, she captures not just faces, but personalities. Whether it’s online or in the viewfinder, Dawn knows how to make us all look our best!

Jenny, Mark, Mike & Mike – Exhibition Dream Team & Masters of the Makeover
Our brand-new Exhibition Committee has brought a wave of enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and a sprinkle of healthy disruption to the club’s annual showcase. With creativity flowing and change in the air, they’ve reimagined the exhibition from the ground up. Jenny, ever the voice of reason, has kept the two Mikes and Mark firmly on the straight and narrow (no easy feat when three creative minds are racing ahead at full speed!). Together, they’re proving that with the right mix of vision, teamwork, and just a dash of controlled chaos, this year’s exhibition will be one to remember.
