Wellsford Camera Club has expanded to include Mangawhai in a bid to attract new members and relaunch the club in a “new photographic setting”.

The club will now be known as the Wellsford-Mangawhai Camera Club and its next meeting will be held at 34 Jack Boyd Drive, Mangawhai, on Thursday, August 27, at 7.30pm. The plan is to continue meeting on the fourth Thursday of each month. Spokesperson Wayne Thornton says the aim of the club is to increase members’ enjoyment of photography by developing their skills and providing an opportunity to show off their work.

“It’s a great place to ask questions and learn how to do stuff. We firmly believe everyone can take great photos no matter what skill or equipment level, and we will help you do this,” he says.

Each month there is a competition with a set subject. Members enter online, images are judged and the feedback helps members improve their photographic skills.

The subject for the August meeting is “motion”.
