Welcome

Our club’s aim is to foster an interest in and the enjoyment of photography.  We do this through competitions, workshops, lectures, outings and meetings with other camera clubs.

Our members are all keen amateur photographers. Their photographic interests may vary – landscape, portraiture, sporting, abstract, etc.,  but they all share a passion for capturing great images, improving their skills and techniques and sharing their knowledge and experiences with other members.  Some examples of our members’ recent photos appear on this page.

// Action for CLUBS
Would you like to improve your photography?

Our Club meets monthly in a friendly, informal atmosphere.  If you’d like to join – or just see how we operate – come along to one of our meetings. We meet at 7.30pm on the 3rd and 5th Tuesday of each month at the Mount Colah Community Centre, Pierre Close, Mount Colah.

Photo Rally – New Date Saturday 17th June

Dear Members,

Our federation of Camera Clubs (FCC) has just announced their annual TopShot competition awards day as Sunday 18th June, which unfortunately clashes with our Photo Rally.

As several of our members enter TopShot, it was decided by the committee that we change the date of our Photo Rally to Saturday 17th June (the day before) to allow all our members the opportunity to attend our Photo Rally.

Please add this new date in your diaries as we would really love to see you all at our most fun filled social event of the year, in honour of Alan Torrens and John Sidebothem.

If you would like to enter TopShot yourself, you can enter via our website. Click “Members” and scroll down past our club competitions where you will see FCC TopShot and many other competitions you can enter. Entires for TopShot close Friday 19th May. We encourage all members to enter.

Regards

Your Committee
