More than 100 photos are to be shown at an exhibition in September.

A free exhibition by the Peel-based Western Photographic Society (WPS) will be in the Mellon Gallery of the Erin Arts Centre, Port Erin.

Running under the title ’Mostly Manx’, more than 100 prints, mostly framed, will be on display, the work of around a dozen of the club’s members.

Organised primarily by their president, Dorothy Flint, this will be the westerners’ second exhibition this year.

Their biggest such show, staged in the House of Manannan and called ’Our Sunset City’, ran from early February to mid-May, and celebrated the club’s 40th anniversary.

Miss Flint said the new exhibition, opening next Wednesday, September 4, would include a variety of shots, many of them land- and seascapes, but also street scenes, and glimpses of parts of the island from unusual angles.

It will be open weekdays from 10am to 5pm until September 26.

The WPS, a small group of mostly amateur photographers, meets on Thursday evenings weekly throughout the winter in the upstairs room of the Peel Legion Social Club, Douglas Street.

In addition to around a dozen club competitions, they compete with the other two local photo societies, and in off-island ones via the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union.

Several members take no part in these, but instead enjoy the many tutorials and advise given to improve members’ camera work, together with the social events and meals out winter and summer.

New members, regardless of ability, are always welcome, a society spokesman said.

They can just turn up on the night to see what the club is about.

Their first winter clubhouse meeting will be on Thursday. October 3, at 7.30pm.
