N&EMPF - North & East Midlands Photographic Federation
The North & East Midlands Photographic Federation (N&EMPF) is
currently made up of 46 photographic clubs and societies primarily in
Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
N&EMPF is one of fifteen federations throughout Great Britain which form
the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB). Each club/Society in
N&EMPF pays a subscription to be a member of N&EMPF who then pay
on a portion of this to PAGB.
In return for their membership to the Federation, clubs and societies receive a number of benefits
including access to local and, indirectly, also to national and international competitions. In addition,
N&EMPF provides a route to the insurances which such clubs need to carry.
N&EMPF provides many benefits, and further details about N&EMPF and its activities can be found
on its website at http://www.nempf.org
N&EMPF organises an annual photographic exhibition (usually held at Patchings Farm Arts centre in
Calverton free

to all members of N&EMPF clubs to attend. Further details are available on the N&EMPF website.
