Steyning Camera Club
Steyning Camera Club was formed in 1972, and is one of the most forward thinking and lively camera clubs in the south of England.
Our purpose, first and foremost, is to enjoy photography. We are friendly, open and welcoming to photographers of all interests and abilities from complete beginners to seasoned enthusiasts.
We also encourage high quality imaging, and are keen to keep abreast of current trends in photography. Members have a considerable range of subject interests, and although most now work with digital imaging, there remains an interest in traditional film-based photography.
Our Venue
We meet in The Steyning Centre, one of the best community buildings in Sussex. This offers a choice of three superb rooms, including the 300-seat Coombe Court Hall, with 15ft widescreen, digital projection facilities and sound system. For more details on meetings and joining us, see the club information page.
Our Programme
Our programme of events runs throughout the year and includes lectures and presentations, practical demonstrations, workshops and, of course, competitions. We divide our competitions into ability-based groups to encourage maximum participation - as many as 90% of members have work appraised in our regular competitions.
We also run a very popular "Coffee Club" throughout the year, with a view to providing practical learning from our more experienced photographers, and to enjoy coffee, of course.
Equipment
Thanks to funding from Awards for All we have a fantastic Epson 1080p HD projector and Apple Mac notebook, allowing members to see their images in the best possible quality.
We also have mount-cutting equipment and monitor calibration kits available for members to borrow.
Affiliations
We are affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) through the Southern Photographic Federation (SPF), and also to the Sussex Photographic Federation (SxPF) and the Regnum Crouch Group. We are also closely linked with the Adur Digital Imaging Group (ADIG)
