Welcome to the official website of Doncaster Camera Club! It gives me immense pleasure, as the President of this esteemed club, to extend a warm greeting to both our dedicated members and prospective photography enthusiasts who are exploring what we have to offer.
Founded in 1893, Doncaster Camera Club stands as one of the most longstanding and cherished institutions in our community. Over the decades, we have celebrated countless achievements, nurtured exceptional talent, and witnessed the evolution of photography from glass plate negatives to the digital masterpieces of today.

To our existing members, this website serves as a hub to stay connected, share your work, and engage with the club’s growing initiatives. Your dedication is what makes Doncaster Camera Club the thriving, inspiring community it is today.

From regular workshops and competitions to outings that capture the beauty of Doncaster and beyond, there are endless opportunities to hone your craft and share your passion.
As we step forward into this new chapter, we remain rooted in our values of inclusivity, learning, and shared appreciation for the art of photography. So, explore our website, view the incredible work of our members, and join us in continuing a legacy that has flourished for over 130 years.
