About Us – Yateley Camera Club

Yateley Camera Club came into being from evening classes in photographic portraiture organised by Hampshire County Council and tutored by Francis Spooner. Several of the students developed friendships and re-joined the evening classes each year. In 1974 Francis and David Watts (Centre Warden) arranged an inaugural meeting of the students and at this meeting Yateley Camera Club was born. Roland Portsmouth was elected our first Chairman and right from the start cultivated the friendly atmosphere that still exists today. Francis Spooner was elected President, a post he held until his death in April 2018. A membership of around 80 has been maintained for many years.

Yateley Camera Club is a friendly, easy going camera club that welcomes anybody, of any age, with an interest in all things photographic. If you would like to know more about joining please email our Membership Secretary (membership@yateleycameraclub.co.uk) for further information.
