Northern Ireland Photographic Association
Bangor & North Down Camera Club
"Oh we do like to be beside the sea side"
Bangor
Wednesday and Friday at 7:45pm
Ward Avenue, Bangor, Co. Down
Bangor and North Down Camera Club was founded in 1951, and has one of the largest memberships in Northern Ireland. We welcome new members, especially those who are new to photography.
Our club enjoys an informal and friendly atmosphere where 'good photography' is always the key. Enthusiasm for all kinds of photography is infectious - and members gather formally on Fridays - and informally on Wednesdays - to share their experiences.
We encourage all members, especially those who are new to digital photography, to reach their full potential. Indeed; many of our 'Advanced' club members attend both Friday and Wednesday evenings and readily share their knowledge, skills, experience in film, slide, digital photography, and digital AV projection.
Whether you are new to photography, or an old hand who wants to rekindle your interest, we'd be glad to see you.
Come along and check us out.
