We're on for Tuesday next!

Well, the thaw is here at last (hopefully) and so we're all set for our meeting on Tuesday next (19th), postponed from our usual second-Tuesday in the month. Since many of our members travel some distance to get to our meetings, it made sense to postpone our get-together because of the appalling driving conditions last week.

Our January meeting will include
* news of our programme of meetings, photo-shoots and motivations for the first half of the year;
* another chance to see the slideshow on the Aran Islands, which is our destination for a weekend away in June;
* a slideshow on the Christmas motivation (the deadline for our quarterly competition, Wintertime, is on January 31st);
* membership renewal – forms will be available on the night; we have not changed our subscription – it is €50 a year for full membership or €30 for juniors, students and the unwaged;
* Tony Murphy will give one of his short presentations on photographic appreciation, this time featuring one of the iconic photographs of the last decade.

As always, the meeting starts at 8pm in the Lough Key Room of the Royal Hotel, Bridge Street, Boyle. New members are welcome – all you need is a keen interest in digital photography, access to the internet and a mobile phone to receive text messages.


Beginners may like to know that there are still a few places left on the Digital Photography evening course at the HEC in Boyle (tutored by Tony Murphy). Thursday evenings, starting on January 21st. Information will be available on Tuesday evening, or if you want to get ahead of the possé, contact Siobhan Gallagher on 071 9664510.
