Club Meetings

We are a friendly bunch, meeting both in person at the Caulfield R.S.L., 4 St Georges Road, Elsternwick and on-line via video conferencing every second Monday at 7:30 pm.

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. Please check our Syllabus for further details.

We warmly welcome visitors to come along one evening to experience what we offer.
