Dear Fellow Photographers,

Welcome to the 2020-2021 Delta Photo Club season. We hope the summer has provided you many opportunities to relax, work on your photography skills and you are ready to begin the new season.

With Covid-19 still prevalent, we have had to adjust how we can meet going forward. Kin Village Rec Centre is still closed and we have moved all our meetings into a virtual online space using Zoom Meetings. We are finding this to be an excellent platform for our members to remain connected. As the Covid situation changes, we will continue to assess how we can provide the best club experience in the safest manner.

This season marks the 50th Anniversary of the Delta Photo Club. We are proud to be part of the club’s long history in Delta and hope it will continue for many more years. Keep watching for our anniversary plans as they unfold.

We would like to thank all the Execs for their hard work on making the transition to an online club and for planning the upcoming season. Their hard work and dedication definitely makes our club great.

There are many great nights planned. Digital Nights, Workshops, Presenters, Outings, Print Nights and more. Our membership renewal process has moved online. You can join the club from our website at www.deltaphotoclub.com and click on the Member SignUp Form. After filling out the form, we will be in touch to process your payment. Please sign up now so you don’t miss any workshops.

Thank you all and we look forward to seeing you at our weekly club meetings.

Best regards,

Robin Bains

Co-Presidents, Delta Photo Club
