We are a non-profit organisation and all monies go to the running costs of the club.  If you would like to know more before coming along please contact us.

St Austell Camera Club History

St Austell Camera Club was formed in September 2006.  The founder members - George Collings, Roy Hoar and Iain Stewart all belonged to Wadebridge or Liskeard Camera Clubs at the time.

They all felt there was a need for something closer to home in the St Austell area.

The decision to form St Austell’s first camera club proved popular, gaining more than 20 members in the first year.

The club benefited from a Lottery Grant and with local support, was able to purchase the necessary equipment.

Today, the club is thriving thanks to the aspiration and vision of those initial members back in 2006.
