About Banbury Camera Club
Banbury Camera Club was founded in 1946 and still maintains its original aim: to bring together all those interested in photography in the area. Whatever your standard, equipment, or interests, you will be very welcome at our meetings.

We have members who are interested in a full range of formats and methods - from traditional black and white printing, through colour slides and conventional colour printing, to digital imaging using computers and inkjet printers. Some members use compact cameras for colour en-prints. Others have 35mm single lens reflexes or medium format cameras. Whether it’s improving your holiday pictures for the family album, or producing exhibition prints, we hope that the Banbury Camera Club has something for you.

What do you do?
BCC is a friendly club and the practical evenings in particular provide the perfect opportunity to share ideas, knowledge and techniques with other members.

The facilities at Chederit school provide the club with a number of computer workstations for image editing as well as a fully equipped darkroom for developing and printing black and white photographs.

We hold regular competitions both within the club and with other camera clubs nearby.
We also have a number of annual competitions with awards for all categories including beginners. More details can be found in the Handbook

Practical evenings allow members to share ideas and techniques. The computer workstations as Chenderit school gives us hands on experience with scanning negatives and slides and then adjusting them with Adobe Photoshop while the fully equipment darkroom allows members to experiment with developing and printing black and white film.
There is also ample room for other practical techniques to be practiced and the emphasis is on members sharing ideas. We welcome the opportunity to give and receive advice
