A Message From Our President
Phil Payne
I have been a member of South Shields Photographic Society for twelve years and I’ve enjoyed my membership immensely, making many valuable friendships and developing my photographic skills. I’ve held the positions of Projected Digital Image Competition Secretary and Syllabus Secretary and this year I’m honoured to have been elected President.
As President, I will continue to support the Society in any way I can. I will endeavour to help the Society continue to grow and prosper, supporting existing members and helping to recruit new members. The Society has a long and proud history going back more than 100 years, and I’m proud to have been asked to continue playing an active role in this history.
Phil Payne
Society President 2025-26
