It is looking more and more likely that the remainder of this year at least will continue to be impacted by Covid distancing rules in one way or another.  Our primary venue at Church House in Corsham has no plans to reopen just yet.  

Add to this the fact that many of our members are in the higher risk categories for Covid, we have taken the decision to continue to monitor developments but plan on a remote access program for the period September to December at least. 

Please refer to our current Programme for the latest information. 

Subscriptions

If you would like to join the Club the subscription for the remainder of this year (2020) has been set at £6.00.

Subscriptions for the coming year, 2021, are being reduced to £25 (from £40).

If you would like to join the Club please contact us via the Contact Form at the bottom of this page.

The Corsham Photographic Club is a long established friendly club for anyone interested in all aspects of photography, based in the center of the lovely town of Corsham.  We welcome new members from all of the outlying villages and towns including Chippenham, Box, Trowbridge and Melksham.  

We normally meet every other week at Church House in Church St, Corsham on a Friday Evening from 19:30 to 21:30 (ish) between the months of September and July.  However due to COVID-19 restrictions we are now only meeting online using Zoom. If you would like to join in with us please reach out to us using the form at the bottom of this website.
