Members Evening
Peter Merry - London Streets: The Monopoly Project
A year long project visiting 40 Monopoly locations in London. The talk covers how the project was conceived and the approach to taking, editing and sequencing images. It also explores some of the stories that unfolded during the project; from a drug deal in the West End to why there was a Czech Army tank just off the Old Kent Road.

Derek Gale - Close Up and Macro Photography
I’ve been a photographer for many years, enjoying both the film and digital eras. I love looking for the less obvious, and using techniques such as camera movement, subject movement, and “bokeh” to produce abstract images.

Abby Moule ARPS - Astrophotography
Astro Abby: an award-winning astrophotographer captivated by the night sky and inspired by the harmony of scientific precision and creative vision. Each shoot is a journey — from months of careful planning to standing beneath a canopy of stars, waiting for the perfect alignment of light, atmosphere, and celestial movement. Whether chasing meteor showers, framing the Milky Way, or capturing rare cosmic phenomena, every image is born of curiosity, patience, and a love for the universe
