Club Nights

Thursday Evenings at Pudsey Camera Club

Pudsey Camera Club meets every Thursday evening at 7:30 pm at Pudsey Community Hub during our season, which runs from September to April. Our club nights bring members together to enjoy photography in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our programme combines guest speakers, regular photography competitions and practical evenings. These activities give members the chance to learn new techniques, share ideas, gain inspiration and develop their photography alongside fellow enthusiasts.
