Each year the club chooses several topics to photograph. The topics are then assigned to certain months. Then the members bring their images to the club for judging. The maker of the winning image then received a roll of film.

Program Nights

Guests from other clubs that are located within the Fraser Valley and/or club members are invited to present a topic about photography or to demonstrate a technique.

Group Outings
