Shannon Camera Club

Shannon Camera Club was established in 1977 and has gone from strength to strength since. The Club is affiliated to the Southern Association of Camera Clubs (S.A.C.C.) and the Irish Photographic Federation (I.P.F.) and actively takes part in many associated events. The Club meets on Monday night at 7:30pm at the Oakwood Arms Hotel from late September to June.

The aim of the Club is to promote the knowledge and photographic skills of the members and provide a forum for interaction with others of similar interest. We spend many a happy night together in learning and discussion and at times in awe of a visiting guest speaker.

A considerable number of former members have gone on to greater things, and many of our present members are doing us proud with their achievements. For example Kieran O'Loughlin, a prominent and highly successful member of the AV Group, received his F.I.P.F and A.R.P.S. distinctions in 2003.

The Club members have actively moved into digital photography, and as much as 90% are either dabbling or are serious digital users.

Membership is open to all.
