Mid Argyll Camera Club
Programme of events
Indoor meetings are normally on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 9.30pm, with a refreshment break. Most are in the Lochgilphead Snowdrop/MS Centre, but may be elsewhere, and/or online with Zoom.
We don't all actively participate every evening. But if you want to learn new skills hands-on, or hear comments on your photos (which should be helpful and constructive), the list below suggests what to bring if you can.
We sometimes have outdoor and online meetings - because these are sometimes changed at short notice members are contacted directly about plans by email or phone, and on Facebook. Our programme of events is usually on this page, updated often during the session.
