Photography Group - The Shutterists
We are an artistic group with an un-written modus operandi of "For fun"
The Shutterists activities include;
1. Regular outings to photogenic places
2. Learning and improving our camera handling
3. Embracing other creative artistic media
The Shutterists allows all camera types, including mobile phones/tablets. However cameras are not a pre-requisite, for example, one of our keen members will attend outings with his charcoal and sketch pad. Shutterist Outings generally take in a coffee, food and even the odd beer – it’s a social trip as much as a photographic one and we all share friendly banter.
After ‘Shutterist Outings’ a competition is held for the best image of the day. The Winner will receive ‘The Terry Knight Photo Group Trophy’. The Winner retains this Trophy until the next outing at which time a new Winner will be announced and the Trophy is passed on accordingly. The Trophy is awarded in tribute to Terry Knight, one of our original photo group members who sadly passed away in 2019.
If any of the above is of interest, or you have any questions, come see us at the SHED.

Trip to Mundsley – August 27th 2026
We left Watton around 09:30 in two cars, Al and John F kindly drove heading to the Northeast coast of Norfolk. We had agreed to meet John Parlling at the Beach Car Park (Pay & Display) to then find a suitable café for refreshments. We arrived in drizzling conditions and again Mr Parling came up trumps finding a café built into the cliffside directly facing the sea. Beautiful other than steamed windows due to the drizzle outside. The name of the café is Lucy’s, and we all would highly recommend.
After suitable refreshments, and as the drizzle had abated, we left the café and split up, choosing our own part of Mundesley to capture.
Mundesley grew rapidly when the Victorians brought visitors to the district by opening a railway in 1889. They came to Mundesley to sample the finest air in the country. The railway has long gone, but the fresh sea breezes off the North Sea remain as invigorating as ever.
Key Highlights:
The Beach: A clean, sandy stretch with shallow rock pools, rock groynes, and RNLI lifeguard cover during the summer.
Maritime Museum: Located on "The Lees" clifftop, it is widely regarded as one of the smallest independent museums in England.
Local History: Part of the Deep History Coast, featuring nearby heritage spots like the 19th-century Stow Mill.
Village Charm: Filled with traditional flint cottages and independent shops.
Mundesley church: Sits perched overlooking the sea
