A New Season Begins at Boyle Camera Club

Congratulations to Andy Rimmer, winner of the prize for the Best Landscape Photograph at the Castlerea Show recently.

As we prepare to return to ‘business as usual’ after the summer break, the committee wish to bring members up to date with current issues and events.

We have been very busy behind the scenes these past few months; reprinting and distrubiting the photos sold during our Arts Festival exhibition and preparing for our forthcoming exibition at The Dock later this month.

Our exhibition in Boyle Library was very well received, a sincere thank you to all participating members and the organisers of the event, in particularly The Boyle Arts Festival Committee and Boyle Library staff. The public comment book bares testiment to the appreciation of the many visitors who viewed the work. At this point, we have distributed all the photos that were sold and will be making a presentation to TOUCH Ireland on behalf of all our members in the coming weeks.

With regard to our exhibition at The Dock Gallery in Carrick-on-Shannon, members photos were delivered to the printer this week. We will present 30 photos to The Dock for hanging in The Jury Room on Monday 12th September. The formal opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday 23rd September at 5.30pm as part of National Culture Night. We are honoured and delighted that the internationally celebrated photographer, Mike Bunn, has accepted our invitation to open the exhibition. Members are encouraged to bring their family and friends along to the opening.

We will have our next club meeting on Tuesday 13th September. We look forward to seeing you all at this, the beginning of our autumn season. We will post the agenda for the meeting shortly.

One of the items that will be discussed is our AGM which takes place in October. Members interested in putting themselves forward for positions on the new committee should make their intentions known to the club secretary at our next meeting. The nomination and election of officers will take place at the AGM.
