Urgent Call for Club Committee Volunteers 

As you know, our Club depends on volunteers to run the Committee and a number of important sub-committees. Without these volunteers, much of our activities could not be undertaken.

Some important positions will become vacant at the end of 2023 as the existing incumbents have served their terms or have indicated their wish to retire. Many thanks to all these who have contributed so well to our busy club schedule.

We now urgently need volunteers to cover at least the following activities:

Treasurer

IPF Coordinator

Outings Committee members

Without additional assistance, the Committee will have to curtail activities during 2024 – not a course of action that is desirable.

So please come forward now and offer your talents to the Club so we can continue to run our full programme next year. Please contact any existing Committee members to discuss your interest – please do it now!

Shoot With Me Showcase Next Monday

Next Monday, we will have the first of the Shoot With Me Showcases from the Autumn SWM. We look forward to seeing the great works and hearing about the adventures of our members.

Last Monday we had the judging of our final competition of 2023 'Street Photography' by Sean Baker. Congratulations to the winners.

 

IPF National Shield Image Panels Selected

The Offshoot image panels for the IPF National Shield Competition (due to be held on 25th November) have now been selected.

A big thanks to Matt O’Brien for the significant work and effort he put in to coordinate the selection process.

 

Annual General Meeting – 11th December

The AGM will be held in the school on Monday 11th December 2023 at 8 pm.

Please put the date in your calendar – full attendance is important for the good governance of Offshoot.

Christmas Party – 18th December

Our Christmas Party will be held in the Horse and Hound, Cabinteely, on Monday 18th December – another important date for your calendar.
