Hertford and District Camera Club meets at 8:00pm on Friday evenings – from September to May – in St John's Hall, Churchfields, Hertford, England (near All Saints Church). The aim of the Club is to help members to get more pleasure from their photography, by improving their photographic technique and by fostering their eye for a picture.

Visitors and new members are very welcome at any meeting; just turn up on the night and make yourself known to one of the committee members. Or feel free to contact us in advance if you have any questions.

We offer mutual photographic assistance through a varied programme of meetings, which enable us to see the work and techniques of other photographers, both visiting speakers (amateur and pro) and other Club members. Although these meetings are not formal tutorials, speakers are well informed on many different aspects of photography. We all continue to learn by seeing good (and sometimes not so good!) images.

Regular print and projected image competitions for both advanced workers and beginners – with external 'judges' providing useful criticism of our work – help members to improve, while photo 'battles' with other clubs allow us to compare our best images with a broader range of styles. For beginners, in particular, help and advice are available from within the broad experience of Club members, who currently produce colour and monochrome prints (increasingly from digital originals) and colour slides.

We hold a public exhibition of our work in the town each Autumn, and our newsletter – the Viewfinder – offers members a platform for opinions and provides information. The Club was founded in 1951, and is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) through the East Anglian Federation (EAF).
