During the close season, members are encouraged to arrange informal get-togethers, whether it be weekend landscape outings, evening sunsets, 'strobist' style shoots using off-camera flash, trips to events at the Ulster American Folk Park, the Folk & Transport Museum at Cultra, etc etc. Use the close season to gather plenty of photographs to process using the skills you have learnt during the camera club season, and gather plenty of material for next Year's Competitions! Or why not consider applying for the LRPS or CPAGB?
