About Us

Northallerton Camera Club has, with breaks during WWII, met continuously since its inauguration in 1933. In 2023 we celebrated our 90th anniversary. You can watch our 90th Anniversary Presentation on our YouTube Channel.

Our Club Logo
Our club logo does attract curiosity. Comprising of a graphic of a lens, the central image is from a medieval drawing of the “Standards”. This arises from Northallerton’s history; 1138AD to be precise. The Battle of the Standard was fought near the town. Saint Thurstan, leading the English, rallied his troops around the “Standards” (comprising the banners of St Peter of York, St Wilfred of Ripon and St John of Beverley) leading them to victory over the Scots.
