Edinburgh Photographic Society

Meeting Nights

and

Frequencies

For almost 150 years, Edinburgh Photographic Society has held its General Meetings on Wednesday evenings.  In the early days, they began at 8pm, then at 7.45pm, now at 7.30pm.

The season for meetings has normally lasted from around September until April. In recent years the General Meetings have been held weekly; in earlier years, less frequently. 

During the 'black-out' period of the 2nd World War (1939-45) General Meetings were held on the Wednesday closest to the full moon each month!

Here are the evenings and frequencies of the General Meetings and Group Meetings from the year that EPS was founded (1861) until the latest year for which I have compiled the data (1999).
