What does being in a camera club mean to you?
Following Nicky Bird’s talk on ‘Evidence’ last week, some of you expressed an interest in helping us find some answers to this question by participating in an informal discussion.
The idea is that this question is the starting point, and we want to do this as why people come to camera clubs is rarely discussed.
Your participation will help us talk about this and also some of you might have thoughts on how it could develop in the future – for example - to include a larger practical project responding to a specific theme…
Whether you attend Democratic Camera Club to ‘show and tell’ or simply to hear others talk about photography, we are interested in capturing a range of viewpoints and experiences to help shape the ‘what next’ question. We are keen to include long standing and new members, as well as those of you who couldn’t attend May’s Camera Club.
If you are interested in taking part, please contact Evan resource@stills.org (if you haven’t done so already) by 20 May so we can arrange to meet soon.

Images must be 20x30cm in 300 dpi resolution, colour, or black & white (reproduction rights conceded to EUROCITIES).
