The club would like to extend thanks and appreciation to everyone that helped make this year’s event a great success. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the generosity of photographer, Tony Geoghan, for printing all the exhibited photos. To Brogan’s Pharmacy, for the use of their window to promote the exhibition. We would also like to thank Paul Byrne for providing his printing services and Una Bhan Tourism and it’s staff for all the help they gave us. We sincerely wish to thank Boyle Library for generously providing the exhibition venue and extend gratitude to its staff.
