Flagpole Photographers Camera Club invites the public to join them at their June competition meeting. The competition theme for this month is “Long Exposure” and the Monthly Challenge theme is “Umbrella,” in addition to the monthly color and monochrome categories.

An extra monthly “Nature” category is also being added now through June.

The meeting will be virtual and in person on Thursday, June 8, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street.

There is no charge to attend Flagpole Photographers Camera Club competitions. Flagpole Photographers is a local nonprofit group that enables members to share their images and expertise, to learn and grow in their photography, and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow photographers who come from diverse backgrounds, with photographic skills ranging from beginning novices to professionals.

New members are always welcome to join the club and may enter their work in monthly club competitions, participate in workshops, take field trips, get involved in community programs, and take part in annual exhibits.

Dues are $35 per person or $55 for a family. Students may join at no charge.
