About Catchlight Camera Club
About
Catchlight Camera Club was formed in September 2012 by a small group of keen photographers, both amateur and professional, from beginners to advanced. It was intended to function as a small and friendly club, with a 'cap' on the total number of members of 65 members. The Club is affiliated to both the Northern Ireland Photographic Association (NIPA) and the Irish Photographic Federation (IPF) in the South. Catchlight Camera Club competes in the Top Club Competition in both jurisdictions, being Top Club in both North and South this year!
Catchlight was the first and only Camera Club from Northern Ireland to win silverware in a National Competition - winning the final of the PAGB Print Championships for the last 4 years, the plate on 2 occasions, and the GB Cup for small clubs.
We regularly host Top Name speakers from all over the UK and Ireland, and these events are open to all, whether camera club members or not. These events are free for non-members to attend and includes your refreshments at the break!
We aim to assist our members improve the standard of their photography, to gain Photographic Distinctions, and to actively participate in photographic competitions and Exhibitions. The Club has an ethos that members should help and encourage each other, in order that everyone will progress and improve. "One for all and all for One"
