Hertford and District Camera Club meets at 8:00pm on Friday evenings – from September to May – in St John's Hall (near All Saints Church), Churchfields, Hertford, England. The aim of the Club is to help members gain 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, but do feel free to contact us in advance if you have any questions. Visitors are asked to pay a small fee, currently £3.00 per meeting; bona fide potential new members may attend up to two meetings free of charge.

The Club offers mutual photographic assistance through a varied programme of meetings, enabling 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. For beginners, in particular, help and advice are available from within the broad experience of Club members, who produce colour and monochrome prints and projected digital 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 photographs with a broader range of styles. We all continue to learn by seeing good (and sometimes not so good!) images.

We hold a public exhibition of our work in a Hertford town centre venue each Autumn. Members are also invited to display their images free in the gallery on this website, and have access to a dedicated area. Our newsletter – the Viewfinder – offers 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).
