The Essex AV Group was formed to help anyone interested in improving their Audio Visual skills and knowledge. The Group meets on the first Wednesday in every month at 8pm. The evenings are varied, and include "how to do it" evenings, lectures from members and visiting speakers, covering all aspects of Audio Visual.

The group also hold competitions between members and with other AV Groups. The Group is a member of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain ( the PAGB) and affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain through the East Anglian Federation of Photographic Societies (the EAF).
