Although Wellington and District Camera Club had to call a halt to its regular meetings in Wellington School, it has been very active over the summer while at the same time working within national pandemic guidelines.

In addition to a number of socially distanced walks around the Silk Mills Nature Reserve in Taunton and a pleasant evening’s exploration of Wellington Basins, members have been active during the summer on the club’s Facebook page and in online meetings via Zoom.

The new camera club season begins in September but activities will be almost entirely online. The club welcomes new members and for anyone unfamiliar with computers and meeting online, someone in the club will be able to help. The club has a full programme of online speakers and competitions arranged so would be delighted to hear from anyone in the Wellington area who would like to join. Visit the club’s website at www.wellingtoncameraclub.co.uk where information about the club, members’ photographs and a link on how to contact it can be found.

A spokesperson said: “We are a very friendly club and welcome everyone who enjoys taking photographs or just looking at them.”
