As part of the winter programme there are five internal competitions at which prints and projected images are judged by attested judges.  These attract large entries, particularly of digital images. There are five trophies to be won in the internal competitions.  There is also a regional competition known as the Grampian Eye where clubs from Forres to Stonehaven compete in a spirit of friendly rivalry.  Our main rival is of course Moray Camera Club based in Elgin. 

Other special events over the winter include the annual Alex Fraser Memorial lecture, which is delivered by a noted photographer and is open to the public; the Dingwall National Slide Exhibition which includes entries from all over UK; the London Salon, a collection of provocative but award winning images from international sources.

Over the summer there are local outings each Thursday evening, monthly day trips and occasional weekend trips.  On these outings new members can learn practical skills in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

The club seeks to be part of the wider community and normally has a presence at community events such as Forres Theme Day, Scottish Week or the Highland Games; and members give presentations to community groups.  The club is also invited to take photographs for display at Dallas Dhu and Benromach.  Also the High Street is often brightened up by a display of club photographs whenever there is an empty shop window.
