Mid Calder Camera Club
History
The club has been in existence since the early 1980's in various locations within Mid Calder. The club was started by Ken Dunn an Irishman who lived in the village at the time.
The first premises the club used was The Community Centre in School Lane, Mid Calder. Here the club met every fortnight in various rooms within the Centre until the centre closed in the 1990's when the Community Centre moved into the Institute Hall in Market Street. At that time however space was limited and the club had to meet in Cunnigar House, a sheltered housing complex in the village. Here the club met for a number of years in the main lounge of the building. When space became available within The Institute Hall in the early 2000's the club moved in there.
Soon after moving the club decided to meet every week as up until then the club met fortnightly. The club has continued to grow and meets every Wednesday night from September to May from 7.30pm to 9.45 pm.
Where do we meet?
