Our aims as a club are:
• To promote and organize photographic activities for our members.
• To provide a forum for our members to pursue their photographic interests.
• To co-operate with other organizations in the promotion and organization of photographic activities. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds but we all share a common hobby, the love and pursuit of photography. Some o
f us have years of experience while more among us are beginners. Whichever category we belong to we continue to learn more about photography through sharing our knowledge and experience with our fellow members and through the activities in which we participate. Among the events we organize are:
• Local outings for members.
• Presentations by guest speakers such as well-known local photographers, experienced members from other clubs or from our own membership
• Competitions amongst our members, each based on a different theme
• At least one exhibition each year at a local venue
• Attendance at events/presentations organized by other local photographic societies
• In recent years we have photographed the Ring of Kerry Cycle on behalf of the charity’s committee & produced two calendars in partnership with Killarney Lions Club in aid of Kerry Parents & Friends Association. We are affiliated to the Irish Photographic Federation (IPF) and the Southern Association of Camera Clubs (SACC) and participate in competitions organized by these associations. We meet every fortnight on Thursday night, except during June, July and August, from 7.30pm in the Brehon Hotel for in person meetings and online via Zoom. On certain occasions, photographic and social events can bring us together other evenings or weekends. We welcome new members who share our passion for photography, regardless of level of experience or knowledge. People are invited to attend up to 2 meetings free of charge before deciding on whether they want to become members. Contact Killarney Camera Club Secretary via [email protected] or phone on 0876555611 with any queries you may have about our club.
