Annual General Meeting and Fun Picture Competition
Monday the 20th
It’s packed (almost, we’re still working on it), it’s exciting, it’s our programme for 2010. At the Abergavenny Camera Club we try to ensure a wide range of topics for each of our club meetings. We listen to our members and aim to provide exactly what they want with something different thrown in as well. Meeting bi-weekly allows us to put together a high quality programme that doesn’t become diluted with ‘non-evenings’. Use the key below to pick out particular evenings of interest. We look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings.
Thank you,
The Abergavenny Camera Club.

A chance for you to bring in your own images for critique by the other members.

Abergavenny Camera Club meets every fortnight at 8:00p.m. on a Monday evening at the St. Michael’s Centre on Pen Y Pound in Abergavenny, behind the church. For those of you with ‘sat nag’ the postcode is NP7 5UD.
