The new club season at Paignton Photographic Club kicks off on September 23rd with various members taking the opportunity to discuss some of the new and exciting highlights of the coming season together with a retrospective of the clubs successes in 2018. As always, throughout the season you can join us at the hall behind the Methodist Church in Palace Avenue, Paignton from 7:30pm. Non members are always welcome but of course, we hope that you will consider joining the club and helping us make it one, if not the best, photographic club in the region. As a member you will be able to enter club competitions and to represent the club with your images in inter-club and regional competitions. With groups for every level of ability from beginner to advanced, you can feel comfortable that your work has ever opportunity of success within the many competitions that we run throughout the season. More than that, you can be assured of support and help in every aspect of your photography from highly proficient photographers with many years experience to share. Please come along and get involved.
