  • Want to create an inclusive, enjoyable atmosphere within the photography group, which is welcoming to photographers of all standards.
  • Participating in external photography competitions and holding photography exhibitions were future goals
  • A possible commercial aspect to the club will be considered in the future.
  • Active recruitment of new members will take place once the club becomes more established.
