South Shields Photographic Society

"Why did I join?:
I gave up smoking in 1989, and needed a way to ensure I didn't relapse, so spending the savings on cameras ensured I couldn’t afford to start again!
Why the SSPS?:
Well, mainly the Social aspect! I returned to South Shields after a 47-year absence, and my wife suggested I needed to get out more! By then, I had a 28-year-old photographic hobby, and so the SSPS, and its Digital Group, seemed like a good fit. A family member had been a member in the past, and I think that formed the basis of my wife’s suggestion."
