The RPS is the single most influential photographic society in the UK and attracts applications for membership from across the world. The SCC is affiliated to the RPS via our membership of NEMPF. Currently several SCC members have earned RPS qualifications.

North & East Midlands Photographic Federation is a similar organisation to the LPA, but covers several counties in the North and East Midlands including Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. The SCC is affiliated to the PAGB and the RPS via our membership of NEMPF

The PAGB is an 'alliance of clubs' - PAGB members are organisations like NEMPF, and individual clubs have access only via their local associations

The SCC was a founder member of the Lindsey Photographic Association and SCC members have served as key officers for the LPA for many years. Three SCC members have served as Presidents and two members as Secretary. Initially the SCC was the hub of the administration of the Association, but as more clubs joined and officers were elected from other clubs, the hub changed to other centres and the name was change to the Lincolnshire Photographic Association. The administration centre is currently in Lincoln - in the centre of the county.
