Welcome to the website of Paisley Colour Photographic Club, one of the leading photographic clubs in the country. During its 64 years existence the Club has gained an enviable reputation, both in terms of the quality weekly programme of lectures and its success in national competitions and exhibitions.
We have a friendly, mixed gender, membership of over 70 and cater for a wide range of abilities and experience from introductory to advanced.
Meetings are held each Thursday evening in the McMaster Centre, Renfrew, from early September until the end of April. Details of the indoor meetings programme for 2019-20 can be found in the Syllabus Section of our website. This is supported with one or two Tuesday teach-in/tutorial evenings each month while in May and June there is a programme of weekly evening outings.
We always welcome casual visitors so if you are in the area and fancy attending one of our lectures, why not drop in and pay us a visit.
If we don’t see you in person, you might enjoy taking time to view members’ images displayed in the Gallery Section of this website.
