We are a photographic club embracing interest in all aspects of still photography. We hold weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings from September to April with a programme of events including guest speakers, photo competitions, image reviews and practical sessions run by club members. We welcome anyone from beginners to advanced photographers, who would like to share their interests, take more appealing pictures or progress their photography to a higher level. We accept images taken with any photographic device, phones, film or digital cameras and drones.

What We Do
At Gloucester Camera Club, we promote and encourage all aspects of photography, offering a welcoming, inclusive space for enthusiasts of all levels—from complete beginners to seasoned professionals.
Weekly Club Evenings
Every Tuesday (September–April), we meet at Pineholt Village Hall for an engaging mix of activities, including:
Guest speakers and expert-led workshops covering everything from creative composition to advanced editing
Interactive “Image Appraisal” evenings for constructive image critique
Photo shoots and photo walks, where members get hands-on experience and inspiration in a social setting
If there is sufficient interest, we occasionally run a short beginners’ photography course led by an experienced club member. The course is designed to help newcomers get comfortable with their camera and the fundamentals of photography in a relaxed and friendly environment
Competitions
The Annual Competition consists of 6 approximately monthly rounds for both prints and projected digital images (PDIs).
The Gloucester Cup is our annual set subject competition, with a genre-based theme
There is a Triptych competition, in which 3 related images are combined into one frame to form an entry
There are also Inter-Club competitions (sometimes called “battles”) with other local and sometimes more distant clubs
Learning & Growth
We support all our members in developing their skills—whether you're editing in Lightroom, preparing competition entries, or working toward photographic distinctions like LRPS, EFIAP, or GPU. Our more experienced members are always ready to offer mentorship, feedback, and support.
