Clubs and Societies

Imaging 2000

Imaging 2000 is a small group of amateur, but interested, photographers meet once a fortnight in the Old Church Rooms, Radyr to discuss, exhibit, produce photography. We organise internal and external photographic competitions.

With the variety of interests it is an excellent forum for both young and not so young photographers to learn about the subject and improve their camera skills. If you are interested in joining us, please follow the link for more information.
