Towcester Camera Club Programme

Towcester Camera Club meets on alternate Wednesday evenings at the St Michael’s Church Rooms in Silverstone from 19:30 ~ 10:00pm. We warmly welcome anybody who enjoys photography as a hobby.

Our members have a very wide range of photographic interests and ability and most find that they thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to share ideas and to learn techniques from each other and from visiting speakers, either before the formal session starts, during the midway break, or at the end of the session.

The Club updates its programme twice a year and aims to cater to a spread of interests, mixing external speakers with informal, participative member sssions.

We are always keen to hear from people keen to show their work or demonstrate new techniques.
