The object of the Ivybridge & District Camera Club is to promote and support the interest of photography as a recreational pastime for everyone who is interested.

The club welcomes visitors and new members of all levels of photographic ability.

We are a mixed club with a varied age range, diverse abilities, interests and levels of photography experience. We are all photographic enthusiasts who like to listen, exchange and learn more about photography and how we can improve our photographs. We support both film photography and digital work and many members are also processing pictures digitally.

The club is affiliated to the Western Counties Photographic Federation, which gives access to lectures, judges, seminars and other photographic activities.

Regular meetings are held at the new hall at Bittaford (First left after 30mph signs Click here for map) at 7.30pm on the second and fourth Tuesday in the month (except for holidays; see Events & Meetings page). In addition to the regular meetings a number of Practical Tutorial Evenings are held throughout the year.

The club holds regular competitions with other local photographic clubs and also enters into regional competitions.

As well as lectures, our calendar has a range of internal competitions, which although not obligatory are well supported with a wide range of work. Some competitions are themed and some are ‘open’, All have colour, black & white and slide categories, giving scope for members’ tastes and preferences.

Shields, cups and trophies are awarded to competition winners at an award ceremony in December each year and the event doubles as a Christmas dinner and get-together.
