Become a Penryn Camera Club Member!

Fortunately for us, but unfortunately for you, we have reached our maximum membership (50) without increasing insurance and other expenses. Requests for membership will be added to a waiting list, but we regret that we cannot take new members at the moment.

Programme:

We run a varied programme of competitions, speakers, exhibitions, practical evenings and events. You can see details for this season on the Programme page, but here is an overview of the type of activities that we do.

Speakers

Presentations by external speakers, usually in person, on a wide range of subjects and genres of photography.
Talks by members about their areas of interest or expertise and other photography topics.

Competitions

Competitions for prints and/or digital images are held regularly; have a look at the Galleries page for more information (Don't forget to select the "Fun" dropdown). Club competitions are judged by external judges. The Club also has 'Battles' with other clubs and enters Western Counties Photographic Federation (WCPF) and Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) competitions.
