A new photography club has started at the Tura Beach Country Club.

The first meeting was held on Sunday 13 November at 7:30pm.  Future meetings will generally held on the 3rd Sunday of each month, with a photo shoot of some description to be held on the 1st Sunday of each month.  There will be occasional exceptions, so see the Calendar page for a full schedule, or see the sidebar to the right for details of the next meeting and photo shoot.

The main objective of the new club is to bring together people who enjoy their photography so we can share our skills and experience and create better pictures. Activities are likely to include:

• field trips;
• talks from local professionals;
• sharing of resources e.g. magazines and books;
• friendly and constructive critiques from members about each other's favourite photos; and
• anything else that will improve our photography skills and/or increase our enjoyment of photography as a hobby.

The club is informal and non-competitive, and no membership fees are envisaged (at least not in the first instance).
