Although I can lay claim to having attended the first ever meeting of Croxley Camera Club in 1960 I cannot boast continuous membership from that date. As a 13-year-old my expectations of a camera club were different to the adults who assembled to form one in Croxley. My later career took me away from Hertfordshire so it was not until 2010 that I returned and joined the friendly and vibrant club it has become. I noticed that members spoke in reverential terms about the past Chairman Paul Bradley who had retired from the club the previous year following a move to the Isle of Wight. Paul had been Chairman for some 10 years and a member for even longer, he guided the club though some challenging times as photography morphed from film to digital and was an inspirational and dedicated Chair. In 2006 he set about the mammoth task of chronicling the history of the club from its inception in 1960 through the thriving club it became. So much of the history of our village is written down or photographically recorded so it is fitting that Paul Bradley’s Camera Club story should be part of the Croxley Green History Project.
