Next Monday – Second Shoot With Me Showcase

On Monday 27 May, we had a most impressive Showcase from the first six groups involved in the Shoot With Me programme. Next Monday, we follow up with the images from a further five groups. So come along and enjoy a second helping of great work by our members!

Please Collect Your Exhibition and IPF Prints

As most of you know our exhibition at Deansgrange Library ended on 31 May. It was very well received with many compliments from members of the public and library staff.

Many thanks to all the members who came on the day to collect their prints – and those of others who could not make it to Deansgrange. However, there remain a good number of uncollected images which Emily will bring to the club meeting next Monday. So please come and collect them if you can or arrange for someone to take them on your behalf.

We will also have the remaining prints from the recent IPF panels available for collection.

Exhibition Book Update

The book of images from the exhibition has now gone for printing and will be available soon. The price will be €35 per copy with €5 per copy being donated to Lauralynn, our adopted charity. 

Outings Update

A quick update on upcoming outings:

The Birds of Prey outing and the trip to the Saltees are now fully booked.

The remaining outing before the summer break is to the Botanic Gardens on Tuesday 25 June – details to follow.
