Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Ilkeston Arts and Camera Club.

The Club is for anyone with an interest in the creative arts, including painting, photography, decorative arts, literature and theatre: in fact, any creative activity. We meet every Thursday evening during the season at 7.30 p.m. at the Shopmobility Centre, adjacent to Erewash Museum, while the painting section meets on Monday evenings from this new season at Elim Christian Centre, Charlotte Street, Ilkeston, also at 7.30pm.

We have found, over many years, that this combination of photography with the general arts has advantages for both artists and photographers, enabling the ‘pooling’ of ideas and sharing of expertise to the mutual benefit of all members.

The Club’s year runs from 1 September to 31 August and new members are welcome to join at any time during the season. Alternatively, you can come to any of our club nights or activities as a visitor on payment of a nominal fee, refunded if you join subsequently.

Please feel free to browse our website and have a look at the programme. A map showing our meeting venues appears below. I hope that you will find something of interest in our programme and that you will come and see us soon. In the meantime, if you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact any committee member.

              Alan Bannister, Chairman 2010-11
