CPA Camera Club

About me

The C.P.A. Camera Club is one of the oldest in Northern Ireland dating back to 1906.

Our aim is to promote photography and to assist those with an interest in photography, no matter how basic, no matter which medium, film or digital, everyone is welcome.

Anyone, from beginner to advanced worker, is invited to join us and benefit from the many demonstrations and lectures arranged for our members.

Meetings are held each Tuesday at 7.45 p.m. from September to May in the Morton Community Centre, Lorne Street (off Lisburn Road), Belfast.

The programme this year is very exciting and begins on September 2nd (see below). Come along to any of the meetings and you will be made most welcome. If you like what you see and hear, you are welcome to join us. Alternatively you can contact the club secretary by e-mail to make arrangement to visit the club.
