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 January. 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
-
We hope our Subgroups can 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.

What do I get as a member?
Membership entitles you to attend all our meetings and social events during the year and to enter our club competitions. We hold an annual exhibition in Tonbridge which is open to the public and every member is guaranteed to have at least one of their images displayed there. Our fees cover, amongst other things, the cost of hiring our meeting rooms and expenses for our visiting speakers and judges.
