We have moved

Trowbridge Camera Club have now officially moved. From 1st October onwards we will be holding our meetings at Southwick Village Hall, Frome Rd, Southwick, Trowbridge BA14 9QN (see map)

We hope that this will perhaps attract new members from the area and that all of our existing members will remain with us.

If any of the existing members will have difficulty getting to meetings due to not driving, please contact one of the committee members and we can arrange lifts with members nearby.
