Malling Photographic Society

This is the Club programme for 2024-2025 - we will continue to have a mix of Hall and Zoom events, allowing us to watch Presentations from Speakers who live outside the Kent area.

Please follow and "Like" our Facebook page to see last-minute events added to the programme.

More detail will be added to this page about individual Presentations. Events will either take place over Zoom (details will be emailed a few days before a Zoom meeting), or will take place at West Malling Village Hall. Some Presentations over Zoom will be open to non-members, via tickets bought from Ticketsource
