Meetings and Activities
We are a camera club of 30 - 40 members with a program that runs from the first Monday in February to the first Monday in December each year and meeting on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at 8pm. The room is open from 7:30pm.
An occasional Monday may get skipped due to Public Holidays so please always check the program before deciding to visit. For 2009, the occasional 5th Monday is an evening outing somewhere for some night photography or a visit to a place of photographic interest.
A few day trips throughout the year are organised to get us out and about and mix some more away from the meeting room and to obtain those various shots we may need for the year's competitions. Sometimes we also manage a weekend away to some venue within about 2 hours drive from Sydney.
In the past we have been to Jenolan Cabins, Megalong Valley and apartments in Canberra (when we wanted a slightly longer drive). We may combine with another camera club or join one of their weekends away to make sufficient numbers for a booking.
Our club has competitions each month in Colour Prints, Monochrome Prints, Small Prints and Projected Images. The points awarded at each competition by a visiting judge are totalled at the end of the year and trophies are given out. There are some other special competitions with trophies that also occur, but the main aim is to learn the art and science of photography though a program of friendly competitions with varied topics and lectures and classes provided by visiting lecturers or by club members.
The other meeting each month is usually a visiting lecturer on some photography related topic.
Membership cost for the calendar year is $60, seniors $55, pensioners $50 and students under 18 pay $20. Only financial members can be in the monthly competitions. Download application form here.
