About Us | Tonbridge CC

Tonbridge Camera Club has a membership of over 80 people of all ages with a wide range of photographic skills. We offer an informal, friendly and supportive environment for photographers at all levels of experience and you will receive a warm welcome.

Because of coronavirus restrictions, we're unable to meet in person until at least September 2021. Until then, all meetings will be held using Zoom software.

Our Main Thursday evening programme will include:

Presentations from guest speakers who will share their photographic interests or provide technical insight
Competitions for digital images
Members' Evenings where individuals can talk about some of their images and give the story behind them

Our Subgroups take place via Zoom on most Mondays between 8.00 – 10.00 p.m. covering:

Enhancing your images using Photoshop
Digital photography techniques
Image discussion
Photographic distinctions
Audio-visual presentations

We're hoping it may be possible to have mini-outings to places of photographic interest in due course ensuring, of course, that we observe all the current restrictions which may be in place.

You can attend two Thursday meetings and two Monday subgroup meetings completely free of charge before committing to joining the Club.
