Membership

We are the Bedford Camera club, a group of individuals and friends who meet at the Scott Lower School (see Find Us) on most Tuesday evenings through the winter months when lectures, competitions and members’ evenings are the usual formats. Through the summer season, when going out and about is the order of the day, all with the intention of enjoying and improving our photography.

We always welcome new members whether novice or experienced and hope that we can encourage them to broaden the art and get better results from their cameras.

The club year begins in October of each year and finishes 7 months later around the end of April.

The standard annual membership is £80 pp or £40 for a student

Those joining between January 1st and March 31st pay half the annual rate.

For those joining between April 1st and December 31st the annual membership fee lasts until the September 30th of the following year (£80, £40)

On occasions the club will hold a competition during the summer break, this is only open to those that hold a current membership subscription

Examples:

Joining anytime between April and December 2023 will cost a standard membership fee (£80 or £40, see above) and will take you through to September 30th 2024
Joining January 1st to March 31st 2024 will be at half the standard fee (e.g. £40 or £20, see above) which will take you through to September 30th 2024

Members can usually attend all evening talks, competitions and workshops free of charge. Guests and visitors attending our ‘winter’ evening events will be asked for a contribution (please see the programme for details.) This fee is deductible from their membership subscription should they proceed to join. 

We are a friendly group and the cost represents very good value.  So how about it, why not come along one evening?
