Welcome Back Night

(In-person only)

We have an ‘In-Person Only’ with our signature Welcome Back Night Potluck dinner and Award Ceremony from 2024-2025 Year-End competitions! It starts at 7 pm so we can eat food together and socialize before the Award ceremony..Please bring a main dish, side dish, or dessert. Beverages will be provided. 

Presentation of the best images for 2023-2024 will take place. Join in on congratulating those who win trophies and those who win medals.   

Tom Gisriel, our illustrious Vice President of Competitions, will be the MC for the night, to guide you through the festivities. I’ll also be presenting two Bafford Buttons this year (what is a Bafford Button, you say?…You’ll have to come and find out)

Don’t experience FOMO—come on Thursday and get to know your other BCC members a bit better. …AND you never know if one of your images will be placed in the Year-End Comp!

Fall Trip

Dear BCC members

I have completed the details for our fall trip and wanted to advise all of our members asap!

Dates:  October 17 to 19, 2025
Location:  Davis, West Virginia
Accommodations:  Blackwater Falls State Park Lodge

Room rate:  149.00 per night plus taxes and fees.  All rooms have two beds.  The Lodge does have a full service restaurant.

For our fall trip we are going back to our roots!  The first trip that I had planned some 20 years ago was a trip to Davis!

Davis is a cute little town and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful areas and attractions.  Blackwater Falls, Dolly Sods, Bear Rocks Preserve , Canaan Valley National Wildlife Preserve.  In Davis there are good restaurants, artisan shops and galleries and other stores that sell arts and different crafts.

Booking: We will not have a booking link to use when reserving a room for this trip.  To reserve a room please call 304-259-5216 and identify yourself as a Baltimore Camera Club member.  The Lodge requires a one night deposit at time of booking.  You will pay for the other night when checking in.  The Lodge allows cancellation until 48 hours prior to arrival to obtain a full refund.

The link to obtain more information about the Lodge itself is https://www.wvstateparks.com

The Lodge is approximately 3 1/2 hours from Baltimore to the Lodge.  If the fall foliage is peaking which normally happens in mid-October the drives in and around Davis are spectacular!

Please block off October 17 to 19 in your calendar so we get together for a weekend of photography and comradery!
