SIG Calendar

The Special Interest Groups (SIGs) meet regularly throughout the season and some even out of season. These meetings introduce members to a wide variety of photography styles and preferences and are especially good for finding out what genre suites you the most. Especially if you are still finding your feet.

Summary of what to expect for special interest groups (SIGs) during the current season, 2016-2017.
