The club has big plans, from regular film screenings and discussions to short film-making workshops and photographic caption writing.
For those interested in publication, creative writing sessions will be scheduled to help develop the storytelling skills that go hand-in-hand with powerful photography.
With the support of Genuine Support Services Australia, the Rural City of Murray Bridge and the Murray Bridge Library, the group promises to become a cornerstone for artistic expression in the Murraylands.

“Libraries these days are more than just about books,” said Mr Law.
