THERE'S good news for budding photographers in Breckland - a new photographic club is opening in Watton.

The first meeting of the newly formed Watton and District Photographic Society will take place at the Wells Cole Community Centre, in Saham Toney, at 7.45pm on Tuesday, September 8.

The club will welcome members of all abilities, from beginners to advanced. Meetings will be held twice a month, on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month (except August).

Already a full programme of events and activities has been prepared by the committee of the club. The chairman, Steve de Roeck, an accomplished professional photographer and journalist, said that beginners will be made particularly welcome.

'We have arranged our programme so that the first Tuesday of the month always includes a talk or discussion on topics of interest to budding photographers. We intend to cover everything from selecting your first camera to how to get the best from it, be it a simple point and shoot camera or the most complex, digital reflex camera.'

For the slightly more adventurous photographer the club holds competitions on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
