Monthly Challenge – September 2026 – Parched
Our September theme was “Parched,” as we remembered our long, hot summer and anticipated that temperatures would remain high into September. We’ve had a bit of rain, but I believe we all agree that it’s still been dry.

What's coming up at the club
James Smith “Storm Chasing”
🗓️ October 14th, 2026 – James Smith is a storm chaser and photographer whose work captures both the awe-inspiring power of nature and the fragility of our existence. On 14 October, James, a member of Woking Photographic Society, will be joining us in the hall to share some of his dramatic images and recount his experiences of pursuing extreme weather across some of the world’s most storm-prone regions.
Whether you enjoy landscape photography, weather photography, or simply spectacular imagery, this promises to be a fascinating and inspiring evening. Join us as James shares stories from his journeys through Tornado Alley, where, camera in hand, he has documented some of nature’s most powerful and unpredictable displays.
