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.

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 there,
I’ve recently been given a Sony DSLR-A200 for my birthday (although that’s not until October) I’m looking to learn how to use it fully. At the moment I just point and click. Do I just turn up at the meeting on Tuesday?
Thanks

Does anyone have a suggestion for an SLR digital camera with good macro facilities? I’m looking to buy Aileen one for Christmas but asking around at the club is hard cos she’s usually with me! Any suggestions gratefully received – new or good second hand would do! Thanks, Clive

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?
