Caulfield Photographic Society (Carnegie)
Caulfield Photographic Society ) is a photography club in Melbourne associated with Victorian Association of Photographic Societies Inc (VAPS). We are a non profit incorporated club financed solely from membership fees and other contributions. There are no paid officers and the club is administered by an elected committee as outlined in the club constitution.
We meet at the Parish Hall of St Peters Anglican Church in Carnegie every second Monday at 7:30 pm. We do not meet on public holidays and shutdown over the Christmas period. Club meetings generally alternate between a guest speaker or club night and a club competition which caters to both novices and open competitors.
Meetings include a combination of guest speakers, club activities and photographic competitions for members. Refer to the Syllabus for further details.
We welcome visitors to come along one evening to experience what we offer.
