About

Larne Camera Club was originally formed as Island Camera Club in April 2012 by a small number of dedicated photographers who wanted something different. The decision proved to be a popular one, with more than 25 members joining by the end of the first year. The club has grown from strength to strength and is one of the most supported clubs in the province. In April 2015, Island Camera Club was re-branded as Larne Camera Club and moved to Dixon Hall Community Centre. In September 2018, the club moved to Ballygally Hall, Coast Rd, Ballygally, Larne BT40 2QX.

Meetings:

Larne Camera Club meets in The Gathering Room Ballygally Hall,  at 7:30pm most Tuesday evenings from September to June. The evening usually runs until around 9:30pm, with a short break halfway through to give everyone a chance to chat whilst enjoying a cup of tea or coffee – and a biscuit of course! We have a number of 'away days' between September and May too (check our Programme page for more details). Club members also meet on an informal basis during the summer months at various locations around the province.

Sadly, Club meetings in Ballygally Hall have had to be cancelled during the current coronvirus pandemic but members are still meeting for practical sessions outdoors and via Zoom meetings.

Fees:

Annual Membership costs £35 for adults, £30 for concessions and £50 for family membership. Members joining after Christmas will receive a 50% reduction in fees. Club Nights have an 'admission' fee of £2:00 to cover the costs of refreshments. Speaker Nights are open to both Members and Non-members. The 'admission' fees on these nights is £5:00 for Members and  Non-members. We are non-profit making organisation and all monies go towards the running costs of the club.
