Fair enough, Marcus, and I think you need to sample a few to see what sort of mix they are.

It's not impossible to be a large group of people though and meet individual needs, but it does take a bit more effort from those who organise it.

We have a large mainstream of activity and then have sub-groups or special sessions to cater for specialist interests. An obvious one ois out beginners' group for Photoshop tuition.

We have found that concentrating on the beginners makes ADAPS stronger - the beginners become experienced in time and then help new beginners, and so we grow. Other groups in the area are not interested in helping people develop, and they don't grow.

I shall continue my search, the PU site offers a great deal of help in addition to being able to make the occaisional contribution. Very positive and encouraging. I think a 'local' PU group would be a great stepping stone, I sense that we have a goodly number of Pentax Users in the North Wiltshire/South Cotswolds area in addition to some great locations.

As a Newbie and very much an amateur,I am looking for a Camera club within reasonable travelling distance. Looking at their websites gives a clue as to what one might expect. For me, the larger clubs/societies seem to have all manner of Rules and Regulations, populated by proffesionals and the commercially orientated, all very competetive, their exhibitions say much about them! Smaller Clubs, appear more sociable with a degree of flexibility in meeting members needs. Most small towns in my area have a 'Camera Club'. I am still undecided, I would not want to join a clique wealthy 'Gadget Freaks'. For me it is a hobby and should be fun.

All this talk of SAAB. Have changed my avatar, with apologies to Ferrari, not a moose proof motorcar.

I am wondering how many members are located in Swindon and North Wiltshire? We have some great locations, The Ridgeway, Lakes, Lydiard Mansion and Park and many relics of I.K Brunels Great Western Railway etc etc. It might be interesting to exchange notes, ideas and view portfolios.

I think it should be called a 'Cold Shoe' with tripod mount. I have been searching without success, until now! Thanks Mannesty.
