We are a small, friendly, grass-roots camera club for people interested in sharing and improving their picture taking (snapshots, prints or slides) without getting too technical or competitive.There are around 18 members, of all abilities from beginners to fairly competent.
Monthly meetings, on the first Wednesday of most months, at the Village Club, George Street, Kingsclere (above the library), at 7.30pm for 7.45pm.
Details of our events and other local activities can be found at:
There is a darkroom for Black & White printing and a library of books for free loan to members.
Membership is £5 year plus £2 contribution per meeting attended. Your first introductory meeting is free.
