VAPS Annual Convention – CANCELLED

CANCELLED – 2020 Convention Registration opens 29 Feb 2020 – CANCELLED

VAPS holds an annual Convention every year where members of different clubs come together to learn more about photography. There are presentations by guest speakers, workshops and photographic excursions to participate in and of course interaction with members from other clubs. It is a great forum for exchanging ideas about the activities of other clubs.
