Events
and Outings



This page contains information on upcoming Club events, such as workshops, outings, field trips etc., and other events of interest. For further details send email to events@cvdcc.org. It also contains reports on past Club events.

Any member wishing to organize an event should also contact events@cvdcc.org. Why not organize an outing? Taking photos is more fun when you are with fellow photograhers eagerly seeking the best light, the best angle, the best competition. And members help each other with shared knowledge of exciting places to go. So rather than rely on other members to do it for you, take the initiative and do it yourself. Your fellow members will really appreciate your efforts.!
