“This will be a fairly momentous step in the life of the society to the extent that we will, effectively, ‘relaunch’ and we would like to encourage all Chesterfield photographers to come along and join in.”
The new venue will give the group more options for holding workshops, catering facilities, and easy access for guest presenters and members.
Martin said: “The society has a growing reputation for attracting top class presenters and 2019–20 is no exception.
