This version with the correct accreditation and link for the second 'Member's Photo of the Week' by Mary Hahn.
Next Monday Night
After a truly inspirational presentation by Chris Copley from Ennis Camera Club last Monday, we turn next Monday to the live judging of our “2020 Vision” Competition.
The judging will be by members of Enskedefotoklubb based in Stockholm. So join the Zoom session at 20.00 to enjoy an international flavour to proceedings!
Shoot With Me (SWM)
The SWM team led by George Balmer are pleased to report that they now have a full list of group leaders and themes for the Spring SWM.
You should have received the choices from George last night. Don't forget to get back to George with your preferences.
Learn With Me (LWM)
Most of us have found that the best way to learn is by putting what we have been shown into practice which is why we intend to run workshops outside our normal meeting rota. In order to understand the learning interests of our members, we ask all to complete the survey at the link https://www.offshoot.ie/lwm-survey/.
Please do give us your feedback.
What do we all look like?
Having all gone virtual we miss the personal interaction and sometimes it’s difficult to fit a face to a name? We are exploring how we can expand the website to solve this. Watch this space.

Outings
The current Government Covid-19 Guidelines stipulate there must be 'no outdoor gatherings'. We are obliged, therefore, to suspend official outings for the immediate future. Our priority is to protect the health of our membership. We will keep our members informed and re-introduce as soon as we can. That doesn’t mean you can’t carry a camera with you on your stroll. It just means we can’t photograph together. |
