•  Bradford Abbas Shield 2017:   Wow! SPPS came in as a clear winner, ahead of Dorchester, Sherbourne Bradford Abbas, Wincanton and Yeovil camera clubs. Congratulations to all whose photographs made up our entry - thanks as well to all members who submitted images and gave us so many great photos to select our final 10 from. (Click on any image in the slideshow to see it enlarged).

We're expecting about 200 images to be exhibited - do come - bring your friends - free entry, great photos, advice on cameras and composition, demonstrations of photo editing software, SPPS South Petherton calendar on sale, refreshments .... what's not to like?!

•  October 3rd:   Visiting speaker Stephen Spraggon will treat us to some of his work with landscape photography. Stephen is a local photographer with an extensive portfoloio of simply fabulous images from all around but most notably Somerset, Devon and Dorset (visit his on-line gallery at www.spraggonphotography.co.uk/gallery/).

•  Bradford Abbas Shield 2018:   The theme for this year's inter-club competition is 'Shadows'. The competition is in late October so there is still time to submit images for selection - and as there cannot be more than 2 images from any one photographer there is plenty of opportunity for your images to be used.


    South Petherton Calendar 2018


The SPPS South Petherton Calendar has become something of an institution over the years, and very well supported by sales it is too. Many thanks to the photographers who provided images of South Petherton and around this year: Joan Apps, Richard Bickerstaff, Steve Harrison, Bob Mercer, and Liz Randall - and to the editor, John Nicholson.

2019 Calendar We are always looking for fresh images to include in the next edition of the calendar. As you take them throughout the year, please send your S.Petherton images to for collation and possible selection.

    Monthly Photo Challenges


Each month the club members are set a photo challenge to produce digital images on a set topic. The images are then reviewed at a subsequent club night and voted on to select the winner (who gets a round of applause and our heartfelt admiration).
