About the Club

Meetings are held at the Somerset County Library in Bridgewater,  during construction at the library we had been meeting at Arbor  Glen and at Fellowship Village, but we are now back to meeting 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the Somerset County Library  in Bridgewater, NJ.

 

The Somerset County Photography Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation and enjoyment of photography. Its programs include slide competitions (Advanced and Beginner classes), small-print competitions (4x6 or 5x7 formats), instructional and travelogue shows by outside presenters, and special programs. On occasion, the club also exhibits its work in local libraries and other venues. The club is affiliated with the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs (NJFCC). Annual dues are $25.

 

The club meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, September through May, at the Somerset County Library  in Bridgewater, NJ. An annual Slide-of-the Year Competition is held the second Tuesday in June. Meetings begin at 8 P.M. (Competition slides should be submitted by 7:45.) Guests and visitors are welcome. For further information, please call David McRitchie at (732) 469-8481.

Program Schedule

2001-2002

2001-2002  Somerset County Photography Club

There are  10  Open competitions, 2 Nature competitions and 9
assigned topic competitions paired with an Open in our proposed
line-up.  .   The 9 assigned  topics are:
  Landscapes,  Churches,  Travel,  Autumn,  Still Life,
  Gardens & Flowers,  Boats, Signs,  Hands

This departs from the usual alternation of  competition
on the first meeting, presentation on the second meeting of each month,
since the competitions have always been better attended we have
increased the number of competition nights.  Some will have Assigned
topics and some will not.

We would like feedback that this is or is not  what you would like
before speakers and judges are actually contacted and the program
is printed.
