		Recently members of Townend Camera Club went for a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Full of street theatre, acrobatics this was a great oppourtunity to photograph people who were only too willing to get their photograph taken as they promoted their event.		Library Exhibition This years exhibition is now on at the Irvine Library until the end of August. If your interested to see what your local camera club can do, feel free to pop along and have a look for yourself. Quite a few of the images are from around this area, and therefore you can see just how wonderfully scenic, and interesting this locality is.
