Car Boot Sale

Now that Christmas is over, just a reminder that it’s only a couple of weeks to the CAR BOOT SALE at the club on 21st January. I can’t run this event without your help so I really need to hear from members who have items to sell or even items to give away - the success of this event depends on your participation !!

So don’t delay - check out what you have/what you don’t need or don’t want and get in touch with Helen at bootsale@offshoot.ie.

Just a few suggestions of what we are looking for;-

camera/tripod/tripod head/lenses/battery/filters/camera case/lens hood/backpack/manual/photographic books etc etc

Hoping to hear from lots of you SOON !!
