DEANLAND CAMERA CLUB

by | Mar 29, 2026

DEANLAND CAMERA CLUB is looking for new members. The next meeting is on Wednesday 1 April in the Deanlands Social Club, Deanlands Road, near Golden Cross BN27 3RN at 7.30pm.

Deanland Camera Club is seeking new members to join this friendly gathering. You do not need a fancy camera to take excellent pictures and to demonstrate what can be achieved with your mobile phone we are organising a talk on the first of April (not a joke!) by a fellow photographer who has made the change and will show you the results- I think you will be amazed! Hopefully after seeing the presentation, you will understand that you already have the equipment to join us. A talk will be presented by an interesting local photographer who has made the change from pro camera to mobile phone. You can do it too without loss of quality, come and see how, open to all.

Trevor the Tale Weaver will be sharing enchanting children’s stories on Friday 3 April. On Saturday 4 April, visitors can meet Mark with DoG the duck and Goldie, offering a fun and memorable experience for families.

On Sunday 5 and Monday 6 April, Nigel will be working in the forge, demonstrating traditional blacksmithing. All activities are included with normal admission, making it a great value day out. For those keen to try their hand themselves, have-a-go archery will also be available for a small additional charge. Food, drinks and lunches will be available at the Blue Door Café.
