It’s packed (almost, we’re still working on it), it’s exciting, it’s our programme for 2012. 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.
