About Bray Camera Club

We are a small but active and friendly Camera Club established in April 1971 located in the seaside town of Bray County Wicklow Ireland. Read on to find where we are, our programme of events, and links to some galleries of work by our members.

The contacts page identifies those who run the Club, how to locate us and tells you to whom you can write to or email if you require more information, and the Links page gives a selection of useful photographic links.

Finally check out our club forum to share your photographic thoughts and perhaps get some technical support, tips and advice.

At the - Mermaid Arts Centre

The Apollo space program literally brought the aspirations of a nation to another world. Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on ground beyond our planet. For the first time ever, all surviving crew members from the Apollo missions tell their story in their own words. Visually stunning original NASA film footage-much of it never seen before-is interwoven with riveting firsthand testimony. Dir: David Sington. 99 mins Language: English

Tickets: €7.50 / €6.00
