Our Club 

Our Programme
We conduct a range of photographic activities - workshops, competitions, field trips, speakers and tutorials. We are involved in providing photographic coverage of various community activities. Members of the club and invited speakers lead these activities. The activities relate to helping everyone with their photography.

Meetings
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month from February to December at the hall of the St Andrews Church, 2 Devon Street, Gore. from 7:30pm- 9:00pm. For the December meeting we have a club prize-giving and a shared meal.

New Members
We warmly welcome new members. Feel free to drop in on one of our meetings to get the feel of things. You are free to come along for a couple of meetings before you decide to join or not. You will be greeted at the door and made to feel most welcome. Feel free to join and have a look at our Facebook page, just search Gore Camera Club. Members are posting and commenting on their images all the time.

Competitions 

Competitions
We hold print and digital competitions every month. There is absolutely no requirement to enter these. We have a scheduled programme posted on the Information section of this site. There are three classes - A Grade, B Grade and C Grade. New members can elect to begin showing their work in the C Grade. Here, the judge makes helpful and encouraging comments to get you started in your photography. Each year the club secures the services of experienced, knowledgeable persons to evaluate the competition entries. All report-back sessions are anonymous. Neither the judges nor the audience knows who the entrant is.

Supper

Each monthly meeting concludes with a convivial cuppa. This is a great chance to meet and mix. Members will happily include you in the chatter and will introduce you around - and invite you back.

Trips away
These are popular with members. They take place between February and the end of September. We travel to interesting places with a view to having a good time and practising photography in real situations. Built into each trip is a learning skill. Participants receive guidance on some aspect of photography. Interested members of the public are most welcome. Bring a friend or bring the family. Experienced club members will travel with visitors and assist them throughout the day. Field trips are a great way to have fun, see new places, learn new things and meet new people.
