News Update

Croi
We are delighted to report that our Summer Exhibition raised €800 for Croi, the West of Ireland Heart Foundation, and we will be making a cheque presentation to the charity shortly. Pictures and prints purchased at the Exhibition will be available for collection from The Greenway Emporium in Boyle (071 9664090) after August 21st.
Summer Show
Members are invited to join us in promoting the Club at the annual Boyle Summer Show on Sunday, August 29th. We will have a table in the Sports Complex from 2.30pm until 4.30pm, with the slide show running from our recent exhibition. We could do with a few people to take turns in sitting there, just to talk to interested members of the public and maybe hand out membership application forms! Ring Louise if you can help.
Also, Boyle Summer Show has a photography section again this year. Last year, two of our members, Debbie Little and Louise Cole, won rosettes – it would be nice if the Club was again represented. Entry forms are in the Show schedule, which is available from Una Bhan Tourism in the grounds of King House, Boyle. The deadline is August 24th. The theme for the photography competition is 'Natural World' and there are categories for adults, secondary and primary schoolchildren, with small cash prizes and rosettes for the winners.
Calendar Opportunity
Siobhan Clancy, an artist working with the Family Life Centre in Boyle is looking for digital images that reflect the themes of love, faith, trust, hope, time and many others for inclusion in a calendar. Day by Day in the Life is the title of the project. All images submitted will feature in a digital presentation on September 23rd when the final selection for the calendar will be announced and they will also get an airing at a culture night displaying the art@work projects in Roscommon the following evening. Deadline for submissions is September 6th. This is another opportunity for Boyle Camera Club members to get involved in the community.
