We will be launching our 12th annual photographic exhibition at Boyle Library, on Thursday night, 18th July, at 7pm. 
This Boyle Camera Club exhibition is in association with the Boyle Arts Festival and will be opened by Mary Mullins, Arts Officer for Roscommon County Council.

There will be 30 images on display, taken by club members, covering a broad range of photographic subject matter. Framed and unframed prints are for sale. The club will also have a raffle where the prize is a framed print of your choice. The exhibition runs until 27th of July.

Founded in 2007, Boyle Camera Club is one of the most active and innovative clubs west of the Shannon and were the Irish Photographic Federation National Shield Winners in 2013. Members have attained citations and numerous national awards for their work in recent years.

Open to new members from beginners to advanced, we meet the second Tuesday of each month at St. Joseph's Resource Centre in Boyle. Presently on Summer Holidays, our next meeting is on Tuesday 10th September. We look forward to seeing you!
