The Society
Newark & District Photographic Society has existed to promote and provide support for Amateur Photography in and around Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England since 1938.
A keen group of photographers, we meet weekly between September and April to hear guest speakers talk on their photographic techniques & experiences, and to receive constructive criticism of our own work.
This website was created to allow parties interested in photography both locally and further afield to see who we are and what we do, and to provide resources for members. You will find news, reminders of upcoming events and competition deadlines, our current programme, contact details, constitution, rules, competition rules, preparation guides for print and projected digital image competitions, and members' galleries.
All correspondence should be emailed to the relevant contact or posted to the Hon. General Secretary:
Newark & District Photographic Society, c/o 104b North Gate, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1HF.

In Memorial: Paul King
09/04/2026
It is with great sadness that we have to report that long serving member and constant presence at the Society, Paul King, passed away on Wednesday, 8th April 2026.
Paul was a talented (and rare) producer of Cibachrome prints, who then successfully adapted to the digital age and the art of compositing.
A constant companion for his wife, Rose, he barely missed a meeting and was effectively an unofficial extension of the Committee over the decades, assisting with every activity and endeavour of the Society that he could.
Our condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to Rose, their son and daughter-in-law, and their grandchildren.
