Meeting Schedule


We Meet at Evangel Community Church, 76 Sandys St. Chatham from September through May. Enter the meeting room through the back door of the church, marked by our Chatham Camera Club sign. Guests and Visitors are always welcome! Please come and see what we are all about! For the 2023-2024 season, some meetings will take place on your computer via ZOOM.

For information on joining us, kindly e-mail us at ChathamCameraClub@hotmail.com

The Chatham Camera Club is a great place to learn from fellow photographers or from the professionals that we bring in as guest speakers.

Our workshop topics for the season include: Hands-on instruction for Point and Shoot basics, f-stops and shutter speeds explained, Photoshop and Elements basics, Faststone basics, Portrait Lighting, Lens selection, Metering Modes, Basic Printing.

Our Main Meetings include Travelogues, Photo Challenges and Critiquing.

Seasonal dues are $45 for a single membership and $70 for couples, which covers all meetings, including Workshops with guest speakers. You may attend two meetings without charge to see if you are interested in joining. Students currently attending high school, college or university may join for free.

NOTE: Photo Challenges are meant to challenge our creativity and inspire us to move out of our comfort zone and into places we’ve never ventured. They are in no way a reflection of your ability. If someone else doesn’t see your vision, accept it and continue to learn and grow as a photographer at your own pace. Instructions on how to enter the photo challenges can be found HERE.
