Next Monday evening, Mike Smith and his team are going to present to us all about their trip to the Camargue. We can look forward to a great evening with entertaining anecdotes and, without a doubt, some great images. 

2024 Club Exhibition

Our 2024 Club Exhibition will be held in Deansgrange Library and open next Wednesday, the 1st of May, at 6.30 pm. Put this date in your diary now. We would like as many as possible to attend.

After the opening, there will be a get-together in the Grange Pub across the road. All club members and guests will be welcome. This was a great success in the past. Please come and make it an even better social event this year.

Our exhibition has always been a wonderful success, and seeing so many of our members’ images presented together is fantastic.

Thank you to all members who have submitted images for printing. 

Please use the club bank account to pay for the exhibition prints. Please add a note to the payment saying it is for the exhibition. 

Upcoming Outings

Please note that the outing to the Bluebells in Killinthomas Wood has been brought forward to this Tuesday as they are in bloom already.
