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. 

This program will have some guest speakers as well as in house challenges and discussions but will be based on the Zoom online platform.  A more detailed program will be released during August but we expect the first meeting to be on the 4th September and the first of our guest speakers is Guy Edwardes on the 11th September.  If you haven’t come across Guy have a quick search online or on Facebook. We are looking forwards to that one, it should be a great night.

Please refer to our current Programme for the latest information. 

Subscriptions

Subscriptions for the coming year, to the end of 2021, are being reduced to £25 (from £40) so now is an excellent time to join the Club and benefit from this reduced rate.

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.
