The Frome Wessex Camera Club will be holding a Camera & Photographic Fair on Sunday 8th April at the Cheese & Grain.
This is the South West’s largest camera and photographic fair, with over 30 stands selling everything camera and photographic, including digital cameras.
“The fair gives you the opportunity to purchase fine used cameras (collectable and modern) lenses, filters, flashguns, film, paper, books and old prints,” said David Chedgy from the camera club.
“If you have never been to the photographic camera fair you are missing a great opportunity as the prices are low and you’ll find cameras, lens and lots of bits and pieces, and accessories that you’ve been searching for.
“Makes include Bronica, Canon, Fuji, Sigma, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Mamiya, plus digital cameras and all the other photographic goodies on display to tempt you.
“Camera fairs are very friendly places and the stallholders will only be too pleased to give help and technical assistance on the photographic equipment and goods.
“If you have cameras or lenses to sell, then please bring them along with you as the dealers are always looking to buy fine used equipment as well.”
For those who would like the opportunity to join the Frome Wessex group of photographers, please see the Frome Wessex Camera Club stand for details or visit www.fromewessex cameraclub.co.uk
Early bird admission is £5 from 8.30-9.30am; general admission is £3 from 9.30am to 12 noon; with a reduced admission of £2 after 12 noon to 1pm. Refreshments will be available and there is free car parking. All profits from the admission will go to the Frome Wessex Camera Club.

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
