Sileby Photographic Society

Programme

Our season runs from September to May. During the summer break we take part in walks around the area, with a view to having a good time and maybe even taking some pictures. Whether or not we take any pictures, the evening invariably ends in a local hostelry. Please do contact us if you would like details of the walks. Find below details of all meetings and events for the season. A PDF version of our complete programme is available here. You will need Acrobat Reader in order to view the document.
