An invitation to potential new members

We know that many keen photographers are members of our Facebook group and enjoy the Trowbridge Camera Club Facebook pages but are not actually members of the club. If you like what you see now is the time to consider taking out a membership to allow full access to the up and coming 2020/21 season, be able to join in with competitions and photoshoots etc. During the season, the club meets every Thursday at 7:30 PM. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis the club evenings will be delivered via Zoom at least until December. We will return to weekly meetings in our Club hall in Trowbridge as soon as the situation allows.

The season will open on 3rd September with a welcome evening, open to all, existing members and potential new members. A Zoom link will be put on the Facebook page to allow access to all those wishing to take part. From the following week when the season starts with a schedule of speakers it will be paid up members only.

The membership fee for NEW MEMBERS the 2020/2021 season will be £40. This is a £5 reduction on the fee from last year to compensate for the fact that we are unable to have face to face meetings which we know everyone would probably prefer. Existing members rejoining will have an additional pro-rata discount due to the last season being finished early.

A programme has been prepared for the period September to December that has some very high quality speaker and technical workshops. We also hope to continue with club competitions which members are free to take part in if they wish. All competitions will continue to be judged by a qualified external judge. The rest of the season will be planned on a rolling basis as we see how the situation develops.

During the season we have already scheduled presentations on photography subjects as diverse as Chernobyl, Aviation, Travel, Corporate, Wildlife, Landscape, Art, Street, and Portrait. For those wishing to learn more about photography there are technical workshops on photography basics, Light Room and Still Life photography.

All speakers have been carefully chosen because they are well respected experts in their field and they can offer a unique approach to their subjects. We are confident this makes the Trowbridge Club a bit different and particularly appealing, good value to our members.
