BCC to host IPF REGIONAL MEETING at Lough Key Forest Park - Sunday 6th November

Boyle Camera Club will host a Regional Meeting of the 20 camera clubs from the Mid-West Region affiliated to the Irish Photographic Federation at Lough Key Forest Park on Sunday 6th November.

This will be a great opportunity to get clubs together to network and start the ball rolling on establishing regional rounds for many of the IPF competitions and for future inter-regional events.

The meeting will be concerned with electing officers to the Regional Council and will run the Regional qualifier of the National Print & Projected Images competition.
