Amersham Photographic Society meets weekly for much of the year (September to May) at 8pm at the New Drake Hall in the Chilterns Lifestyle Centre, Chiltern Avenue, Amersham, Bucks HP6 5AH, UK.
Our programmes include talks, competitions & other photographic subjects. Embracing both traditional and digital techniques, we have achieved outstanding success in regional and national events. We welcome newcomers to this very friendly society where members are keen to share their skills and knowledge. Come and try us! See the join or visit page for membership information, and the programme page for details of our events.

The government has removed domestic restrictions in England. The following APS guidance will be reviewed monthly by the committee. Please contact a committee member if you have any comments or suggestions relating to this guidance.
APS has returned to live meetings for the 2022/23 season. At the time of writing (October 2022) cases of COVID infection in the population are increasing.
There are currently no plans for “hybrid” Zoom meetings. Where advertised, some SIG meetings will be Zoom only and occasionally a speaker may appear in the Drake Hall over Zoom.
Wearing a face mask during meetings is optional. To maximise personal protection, FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks should be considered.
Please do not attend a meeting if you feel unwell, have COVID symptoms or have tested positive in the past week. We will not seek evidence of vaccination or negative tests. We rely on our members to act sensibly for the protection of others and themselves.
