The Chatham Camera Club executives announced a change of venue for next season. We will hold our 2025 / 2026 meetings at Grace Christian Reformed Church, located at 255 Tweedsmuir Ave W, Chatham.
This move will allow us to return to our traditional meeting time of Tuesday evenings. The Club has thanked the staff of Evangel Church for their hospitality for the last dozen years, as well as former Club member Dennis Myers for securing that venue for our meetings.
