Welcome to one of the UK's largest photo clubs based near Birmingham, West Midlands.
Smethwick Photographic Society is a friendly and welcoming camera club with a varied programme for everyone.
Come along ‘virtually’ to our online Thursday lectures and workshops on Zoom while covid prohibits face-to-face meetings. Guests can purchase tickets or join us to make friends, be part of a great community and participate in our specialist groups and monthly member competitions.
Thanks to the efforts and dedication of its members, Smethwick PS has grown into a powerful stronghold located in its own premises in the Old Schoolhouse in Birmingham. Our aim is to encourage the enjoyment of photography and develop members’ skills whatever their level from novice to experienced, whether you have a compact camera, mobile phone or DSLR. We will be celebrating our 100th year in 2021!
Smethwick PS is the current UK FIAP exhibition centre, located at the Old Schoolhouse club house near Oldbury/Smethwick.
