Coronavirus (COVID-19) – Maidstone Camera Club Updates

Last updated on 16th March 2020 at 22:00

The Maidstone Camera Club Committee have been following Government guidelines regarding the continuation of our club meetings and sub groups, surrounding the outbreak of Coronavirus.

With news of how the virus has been progressing, new cases being reported and concerns raised about the welfare of our club members, the committee discussed the situation at a committee meeting on Monday 16th March 2020.

After careful consideration, the committee have decided to cancel the rest of the current season, all sub group meetings (Wildlife, Digital, Portrait & AV) & Committee Meetings

All meetings will commence again in the new club season (September 2020 – June 2021)

The well being of all our club members is of the utmost importance and the committee are now working through the ramifications of this unprecedented situation.

We will keep all members updated via our website (this page will be updated with any new updates) and by email.
