About the atmosphere of the club activities

Q
What is the atmosphere like for drinking?
A

Two to three times a year, a drinking party is held as a social gathering, but participation is not mandatory.
Also, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not to drink. We will never force you to drink.

Furthermore, we sometimes have a dinner party with a few people after a photo session or a request for a photo shoot.

Q
Is the photo session “serious?”
A

No, we do not.
Although some of the club members are so-called “camera gurus” who know a lot about photography and cameras. Most of us enjoy taking pictures with our smartphones or digital cameras.
Of course, the main focus of the photo sessions is taking pictures, but you can also enjoy the photo sites as if you were sightseeing!

As far as I (B2), the HP manager, know, all the seniors are friendly!Also, the hierarchical relationship is not strict.
