The Camera Club originally formed around 1923, with its membership drawn exclusively from employees of the "Singer" factory in Clydebank. Meetings were held in the newly built Singer Hall, and at the time, the club was limited to factory workers. During the 1930s, members primarily produced prints, typically in sepia or black and white, as well as tinted black-and-white slides and early color photography.

In 1935, the club achieved its first major milestone by winning the prestigious GDPU Inter-Club Slide League Trophy. However, the club's activities came to an abrupt halt during World War II, when Singer Hall was destroyed in the Clydebank Blitz. It wasn’t until 1959, after the hall was rebuilt, that the club was reconstituted.

By the late 1970s, the Singer factory was winding down operations, ultimately closing in the summer of 1980. The club faced another challenge as it needed a new meeting place. Fortunately, space became available at the newly built Hub Leisure Centre, which included a darkroom and a large meeting room. Around this time, membership expanded to include local residents beyond former Singer factory workers. Initially known as the Singer/Hub, the club was renamed Hub/Singer in 1987, as few of the original factory members remained.

Several of these original members, all of whom served as past presidents, deserve special recognition: William Sharp, Norman Wiles, and Peter McLean. We must also not forget the contributions of John Kennedy, who played a significant role in the club's history.
