Maidenhead Camera Club welcomes all skill levels, and its outdoor activities range from local walks to overseas trips

Join the Club

When was the club founded?

An incarnation of the club was founded in December 1889 and archives show The Maidenhead Advertiser reporting on an exhibition held in 1891. Records are patchy up until 1940, at which time the club was still active and known as the Maidenhead Photographic Society. In 1974 our name was changed to Maidenhead Camera Club (MCC), as it remains to the present day.

What does your club offer to new members?

An welcoming and encouraging atmosphere greets all guests and members, regardless of where they are on their photography journey.

We provide a varied programme of events from September to May via almost 40 weekly meetings. Our 'MCC in Action' offers many outdoor activities and visits to a wide variety of locations and venues, ranging from local seasonal walks to UK and overseas excursions.

Educational activities include our 'MCC Foundation to Photography' and 'MCC Academy' evenings. The former are focused on supporting new and less-experienced members towards improving their techniques, while the latter tends to look at more creative elements and advanced topics. Our members are encouraged to propose subjects that they would like to be considered, so that the agenda remains varied and relevant to all concerned.
