New season notice

I am very pleased to announce that on September 6th 2022 the Owen Sound camera club will begin its 66th year. And Although Covid is still a threat we are going to meet in person.

On Tuesday September 6th 2022 at 7pm we will begin our new season. If you are interested in joining our club please feel free to drop by The New Life Center at 201 4th Avenue West, Owen Sound. Doors open at 6:30 pm

For two and a half years we have maintained our club membership by continuing to hold regular meetings on the first Tuesday of the month using Zoom. Although we were not accepting new members we did seem to add a few.

Our meetings are going to change a little as we learn to run meetings with the threat of Covid. Our member’s health is the number one priority for us. To keep us all safe we will not be serving snacks and drinks to start. If you wish to bring a coffee and snack for yourself that would be fine. Although we are not sure what the mask mandate will be I would suggest you bring a mask along.

During the pandemic we did not solicit for membership but from the Facebook Page we did have inquiries. We are now open to new members and we would be very happy to include you in our club.

That is a little bit about our club, where we were during the pandemic and where we are going through the new normal of having Covid always in the background.
