Who we are

The Ryton and District Camera Club meets every Tuesday evening from 7.30pm until 9.00pm in the Ryton Community Centre.

The club is open all year except Christmas and New Year and any public holidays. From September until May there is a formal programme of lectures and competitions. During the summer months we continue to meet informally either to show each other our work or to go out on mini outings.

You are welcome to visit the club at any time. So whether you are expert or beginner, take slides or prints; process  and print your own films; are into the latest digital imaging; or are interested but do not know where to start please come along.

Current annual subscription is £10.00
There is a 30p charge on the night.

    • Hi Cameron, you’re very welcome to join us and we don’t judge people by their camera. Or anything else.

      There are no scheduled meetings until September but we’re usually hanging around outside the community centre 7-7.15 pm on a Tuesday evening through the summer. Then we head off somewhere for an hour or two then back to The Old Cross.

      We’ll be happy to see you.

  3. Hi

    I am interested in joining the camera club and was wondering if there are any annual subs to pay. I’ve been getting interested in photography for the past couple of years and need some inspiration and direction.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    • Hi Andrew, subs are currently £10 p.a. and have been for many years. There’s also a 30p charge on the night to cover tea and biccies.

      Hope to see you on 1 September.

      • Thanks. Forgot to ask, what time does it finish roughly? Can’t make 1st but should get there on 8th.

      • We’re usually finished and in the pub next door by 9pm.

        I must get round to putting all this useful information at the top of this page.

  10. Sad news for all members: a previous member, Mick Bannister, died today after a long fight against cancer. I wonder if we should send a card to his widow Lynn from all members offering our condolences? If I’m not able to arrive in time for Tuesdays business meeting, I wonder if this could be discussed under any other business, Gerry?
