Annual Membership Fee

Annual membership fees fall due in January each year. The fee structure is as follows

Single Member - £36.00

Spouse / Domestic Partner Dual Members - £54.00

Junior Member (under 18 years of age) - £18.00

Fee’s are paid based on the club year of January 1st to December 31st. New members joining the club during the club year pay their membership on a pro-rata basis to the year end.

A six month membership is also available based on a single member rate of £20.00.

The first meeting attended is free of charge. This enables potential new members to meet other club members for the evening, participate in the clubs activities and to see if the club suits them. During this evening, the new member will be furnished with club information, a programme and a membership application form. Annual membership fees are then due from the next time the member attends a club meeting.

Photographers Insurance

Part of your membership fee includes a Photographers Insurance premium, to provide additional protection for you and your equipment when you are out taking photographs.

Full details of this insurance coverage will be provided upon receipt of your membership application form and membership fee.

Discounts and other benefits

Club members can benefit from a range of discounts and other special offers.

Mounting Board & Tape - The club buys print mounting board and mounting tape in bulk which can then be purchased at cost by members - no minimum quantity.

Special deals are also offered on Ilford and Kentmere photographic supplies via Harman Express.com.

Our members often do a 'Bring and Buy' on club nights, when old or unwanted equipment can be purchased or swapped.

We also often have back copies of photographic magazines available free to any member that would like to read up and widen their photography knowledge.

When buying photographic equipment or supplies at a photography shop, always show the manager your membership card and ask if you can have a discount? This often results in Phoenix Camera Club members receiving a good discount off the price!
