Morecambe and its legacy over the next 10 years.

“The focus is on photography that embraces social, cultural, experimental and alternative techniques, catering to a diverse range of perspectives on work.
“Underpinned by an ethos embracing a kind and respectful attitude, the group shares knowledge and experiences pertaining to photographic practice, including exploring mutually agreed topics and techniques.
"Members have opportunities to expand and promote their practice including through such activities as group exhibitions, photographic field trips and events.
