Welcome to our website !

North Manchester Camera Club was first established in 1892, known then as the Simpson Memorial Camera Club.

It later changed it's name to North Manchester Camera Club in the late 1970's. It was thought that it would give the club a better sense of location to the general public and to other clubs within the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union (L&CPU), of which we are a member.

As far as we are aware the club has the distinction of being the only photographic club in the L & CPU to hold it's meetings in the same building since it's conception.

Membership stands at about 25, of mixed gender, varying in degrees of expertise from the beginner to the semi professional.

You will find us a friendly bunch, always willing to converse and discuss things.

The programme is made up of general discussions about members work, lectures from invited guests, print, slide and digital portfolios that travel from club to club within the L & CPU.

We also have bimonthly and annual competitions for members work and competitions against other clubs in the local area.

Once a year in May, we hold our Annual exhibition of members work, this is held in the Simpson Memorial Hall.

The exhibition, apart from members work also consists of many old photographs of Moston and Blackley. Which are very popular with both the older and younger generation !

We meet every Friday, in room 7 at the Simpson Memorial Hall, starting at 7.45pm till 10pm.
