Welcome to the Arnold & District Camera Club
Arnold is approximately five miles north of Nottingham city centre. We are a group of amateur photographers and enthusiasts dedicated to promoting photography within our area. Our members range in skill from the beginner to the accomplished amateur.
CLUB NIGHT
Meetings are held at Pond Hills Lane Community Centre. A typical club night begins at 7:30pm with the programme event starting at 8:00pm. We have a coffee/tea break about 9:00 pm and close around 10:00-10:15pm. The first two visits are free and thereafter a nominal entry fee is charged.
The new 2010 programme is available in the Download Area.
COMPETITIONS
The Club holds, for members, competitions for slides and prints with trophies (shields) awarded to the winners at the end of the year. The competitions are in two sections, one is for novices and the other for more advanced photographers, so everyone has a chance of winning. There is also an annual print competition and a trophy is awarded for the winning print. This competition forms the Annual Exhibition which is usually held in the Arnold Library for six weeks of each year. Members are also eligible to enter external competitions under our affiliation with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain and the North & East Midlands Photographic Federation.
AWARDS FOR ALL
The Club is now well equipped thanks to Lottery money awarded in 2007 from Awards For All. This has enabled us to offer even more to our local community and members. Digital audiovisual shows are now a regular part of our annual programme. We are now well placed to pass on our expertise in all aspects of digital photography as well as traditional film based techniques.
The Club is very grateful to Awards For All for this huge boost to help with ongoing and future projects.

FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR
With the 14th Jan. event having to be cancelled, club member Geoff Blackwell ARPS. kicked of the new season in fine style describing all the facts he endured in claiming his recent excellent ARPS.
He projected numerous images of stamps through the ages followed by his own image interpretation of each stamp.
Geoff also produced a portfolio of this work which he presented to the judges on the day.
Hopefully he has inspired others to follow suit.
To complete the evening members Bob Richards and Alan Greaves showed their prints with helpful hints of their achievements.
Thanks to all those who contributed to a very good evening.
Next meeting Thurs.28th Jan. NEMPF slide show.
