ST JOHN'S COMMUNITY CENTRE - PENISTONE CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

Penistone Camera Club was established in 1967 by a group of people passionate about photography. One of the founder members Joe Windle enjoyed capturing the local area and landscape. Joe’s legacy lives on in the club with a trophy dedicated to him.

Since those early beginnings the club has seen may changes in photography from medium format & 35mm mechanical film cameras that produced prints in a dark room with chemicals, to the all electronic cameras with a small SD card we have now, producing prints from a printer.

Over the years club has gone from strength to strength, with an ever growing membership. We pride ourselves on being a friendly club helping each other to improve our photography. Whatever level you are or what type of photography interests you, we have a wide range of knowledge within the club.

Penistone Camera and Photography Club has a full programme of activities all year including: - Inter-club photography competitions - Outings to places of interest - Guest Speakers, who give talks on a variety of subjects.

We also act as the official photographers for the Penistone Show.

New members are welcome and we offer the opportunity for you to come and meet us and share in club activities for four weeks before committing to full membership. During this time we ask you pay the weekly £1 for each session you attend.
