Photographers awarded

A resurgence of membership and new activities were highlights for Warragul Camera Club last year.
Looking to this year, the club is expecting new activities and interests on the horizon as well as the club’s 70th anniversary.
Reflecting on the past year, Warragul Camera Club said regular competitions had been a key element of club membership and workshops, outings and other activities to provide enthusiasm, enjoyment and fun for members.
As part of that, the club recently awarded members for exceptional images with its 2025 award winners.
