Welcome to 2022

Hi all and welcome to 2022.

We are looking forward to starting back up for the year! Our first meeting back will be next Thursday (10th Feb) at the Tararua Tramping Club.

In terms of planning, we have some ideas and will be communicating those out to everyone once things are more finalised. Keep an eye out on this page as we will have some questions we would like everyone’s feedback on soon 🙂

The traffic light system has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works and we are going to make sure that we do everything we can to keep all of our members safe and cater to their level of comfort in socialising and spending time close to others.

We’ll keep everyone updated on the programme as that becomes available.

Joining a camera club

A question we get asked a lot is why should you join a camera club, society or organisation. With social media being such a fundamental part of any growing photographers education these days, camera clubs can seem like a remnant of older generations.

Modern camera clubs have thankfully evolved somewhat with the times and accessibility of photography. These days you should be able to find something to suits your personal needs, whether you are a seasoned photographer or just starting out with your smartphone. Either way, if you have an interest in photography there are many good reasons to think about joining a camera club.
