Photography
The photography club has not met for some time. If you would like to lead or participate in a re-established group please let us know on u3aballymena19@gmail.com.
Photography has become much more accessible and fun over recent years with the growth of smartphones. We would be happy to display members' pictures of local landmarks and beauty spots on our website.
We would also like to receive photos from activity groups to illustrate the range of events which are taking place. Please note that any members who appear in the pictures should have given explicit approval for their image to appear on the website.
Photos of any items created by members (e.g. sketches, paintings, crochet, flower arrangements, papercraft, pottery, cake decorating, craftwork, calligraphy, scale modelling, woodwork) would also be appreciated.
