Types of Outing In the 1860s there were Trips to the Country and Summer Meetings. In the 1870s and 1880s there were Out-of-Door Meetings and Excursion Picnics. The Annual Picnic had become well established by the 1880s. The Chicago Beacon of April 1886 reported: “EPS organises frequent camera excursions and a grand annual picnic on which occasion the whole of the photographic establishments are closed and amateur and professional employer and employé meet together and have a right good time.” Games included sack and barrow races, three-leg race, battledore, quoits and a walking backwards race. Around 1900, EPS organized Saturday Rambles, Survey Rambles and outings of the EPS Cycle Camera Corps. Rambles continued for many years, sometimes described as Photographic Rambles or Wednesday Evening Rambles. In recent years there have been: - Wednesday Evening Walkabouts (weekly during the summer, weather permitting) - Nature Group Outings (including a Fungus Foray each Autumn) - Colour Group Outings (twice a year, open to all EPS Members.) For dates and destinations, please see the list below.
