Townend Camera Club has been established in Dreghorn, North Ayrshire for over 25 years. In that time it has grown in stature and size to the club that is flourishing today.

 We are always keen to promote our own photography, so we are always willing to teach those who wish to learn more about different areas of the subject. To keep our club membership pulsating with ideas and allow them to explore their own style, we regularly hold classes in the fundamental areas of photography.

Digital photography has long been integrated into our way of working, many of our members prefer to use this medium and to facilitate this we have our own computer system complete with scanners and an Epson™ A3 printer. This allows the more traditional photographer or those new to photography have easy access to this exciting way of creating images. Any images created on the computer can easily be stored on to CD-R.

The studio is available for hire to members; it is complete with different wrap-round backdrops, 4 powerful remote controlled studio lights, complete with snoots, soft boxes and filters. 

Competitive spirit is never far away from the club’s membership, it is through striving to win that incites us to produce better images. The members have an array of interests and talents, so there is always something new to learn and to try. Hints and tips and advice are traded in a helpful atmosphere. It is during this process we can learn to improve the way we set up and take our photographs. To this end our club is affiliated to the Ayrshire Photographic Federation as well as the Scottish Photographic Federation.

Our membership is varied in its abilities. From raw beginners to seasoned campaigners to those who are taking photography at college and university.  
                                    
Our club meets during the season, late August to April, at Townend Community Centre, Dreghorn, Irvine at 7:30pm on Wednesday nights.
