YOUR PICTURES IN PRINT
This club is a small but friendly and active group of photo enthusiasts
When was the club founded?
It was formed in June 1955 as the Aldershot Camera & Cine Club and eventually, in 2014, it became the ‘Aldershot, Farnham & Fleet Camera Club’.
What does your club offer to new members?
We are a small and friendly group of photographers with a wide variety of interests and skills. We have an interesting and diverse programme every season, including talks, print and projected digital image (PDI) competitions, practical workshops, social evenings, outings and a monthly photography challenge. Prospective members and guests are welcome to attend both face-to-face and Zoom sessions so that they can experience what the club has to offer before taking out membership. We can also offer mentoring.
Above all, we want to give our members the confidence to share their work and grow photographically in a welcoming social environment.
Describe a typical club meeting
Members arrive around 7.45pm for an 8pm start. Meetings begin with a round-up of club news, followed by a talk, a practical workshop or competition judging, depending on the evening. We have a 15-minute tea/chat break around 9pm. It ends by 10pm.
Do you invite guest speakers?
We host external speakers in person and via Zoom every season. Presentations on ‘the power of project-based photography’, ‘creating powerful images’ and landscape and travel photography are among the subjects included in this year’s programme.
