Membership
Taunton Camera Club meets every Monday evening at 7:15 pm, from the beginning of September through to the end of May.
The club meetings are held at the Brittons Ash Community Hall (BACH), Bridgwater Road, Bathpool, Taunton TA2 8FT, and are also available on Zoom. Please see the Programme page for details of the season ahead.
Our current membership represents virtually the whole spectrum of skills and interests. Some members rarely show off their work, whilst others have gained awards from the Royal Photographic Society and other such bodies.
Members pay an annual subscription fee, as set out below. Paid up members are eligible to enter club competitions, and also have the opportunity to have a gallery of their images on the club website.
Directions to BACH
Use the postcode in your SatNav (TA2 8FT), or use the What3Words app on your phone (///hunt.eyeliner.curve) or download a PDF map here. The map also shows a photograph of the entrance to the car park (there is additional parking available on the other side of the road). In addition, here is a link to Google Street View so that you can get your bearings.
Annual Membership Fee
2024/25 (12 months from September 1st).
Single Membership: £70 – there are no door fees on the night.
We also offer the following membership options:
Joint Membership*: £55 each

Annual membership fees halve for new members who join after 1st January.
Potential new members are always welcome, so if you might be interested in joining the club, why not come along to a few meetings – for free – and see if it suits you?
Young Persons Policy
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, or another adult designated in writing by the parent, at all club meetings. (If the accompanying adult is not a photographer and does not wish to involve themselves in club activities, no membership fee will apply).
The club may run occasional practical photographic events outside of the scheduled program. People under the age of 18 are welcome to attend but must be accompanied as outlined above.
No photographs of attendees under the age of 18 years will be taken at club meetings without the express permission of the parent or guardian.
Images displayed at club meetings may have the potential to cause distress, for example nudity, violence, prey and predator scenes in natural history etc. These images are valid subjects for photographers and parents, guardians and young people should be aware that these subjects may be presented. Every attempt will be made to forewarn the young person and his / her accompanying adult, should such images be displayed.
Any person under the age of 18 years who arrives at a club meeting without an accompanying adult will not be admitted.
* Joint membership is only available for couples living together.
** Student membership is only available for under-18s in full-time education.
