Through competitions and workshops we all learn new skills. All our competitions are judged by independent, experienced judges. Additionally, we enter numerous regional and interclub battles. |
An important part of our weekly meetings are talks by experienced or professional speakers. Talks cover a range of topics – see our Programme 2021/22 for details. |
A camera club should be a social club, and FWCC normally organise an annual photo holiday, as well as summer outings and photoshoots throughout the year, details of which can be found on the news page. |
