Oldham PS is one of the oldest but one of the most progressive photographic societies in Britain. Founded in 1867 by a group of professional photographers from the town, today our members are almost all amateurs with a variety of photographic interests from digital montage to traditional darkroom monochrome.

We are a group of around 35 members and our membership covers a wide range of ages and ability, from international award winners to people who just like to take photographs for fun. Everyone with an interest in photography is welcome here.

We look forward to seeing you - come along any Thursday evening.

Prospective members are welcome to try us out for a couple of weeks before committing to join.

Meetings are on most Thursdays throughout the year.
All meetings are at 7:15pm for a 7:30pm start unless otherwise stated

Meeting place: in the upstairs room at
North Chadderton Conservative Club (The Blue Club)
19 Victoria Street
