HDCC Launches Innovative New Hybrid Programme

The 2021-2022 season at Hertford and District Camera Club starts on 10 Sept­ember, and we can’t wait to be back in St John’s Hall after 18 months away. But this season – our seventieth – will be different. Following the success­ful operation of our enforced online meetings during lockdown we plan to meet both in our Hall and online this season, on alternate weeks.

With half our meetings online we can now welcome members and visitors from outside our local area. We will continue to operate our popular Visitor system for many single meetings, but we have intro­duced a new formal Online Member category for those wishing to attend all the online meetings, with the oppor­tunity to enter our Digital Image competitions.

A broader agenda

Much as we love our face-to-face meetings and the ability to socialise properly in the hall, online meetings give the club exten­sive access to guest speakers and judges from across the UK and abroad. We believe our hybrid programme will give us the best of both worlds, combining our excellent local presenters and judges – many of them old friends of the club – with different styles, opinions and specialities from further afield.

In parallel with stimulating and instructive lectures, the practical and constructive comments from the experienced visiting judges on compe­tition evenings help us all to improve our photo­graphy. All the digital image compe­titions this season will be judged online.

How to join the Club
