Clew Bay Sunset by Tony Murphy
Boyle Camera Club facilitated the Regional Meeting of 6 camera clubs from the Mid-West Region affiliated to the Irish Photographic Federation at Lough Key Forest Park on Sunday 6th November.
This was a great opportunity to get camera clubs together to network and kick start the establishment of regional rounds for many of the IPF competitions and future inter-regional events. It was also an opportunity to showcase the Forest Park Visitor Centre, Boyle and its many attractions.
Regional Council
The meeting elected 3 officers to the Irish Photographic Federation Regional Council, the Mid-Western elected officers are; Caroline Harney - Midlands Camera club, Andy Rimmer and Paraic Brennan both of Boyle Camera Club.
National Print & Projected Images Competition
The Regional qualifying round of the National Print & Projected Images competition was run on the day. The NPPI competition is open to individual photographers from each club who submit images in print and digital format. Boyle had a clean sweep in the Coastal Ireland section and took eleven prizes over-all, in 6 different categories. Boyle Camera Club was represented by Tony Murphy, Joe Kennedy, Brian Munnelly, John Walshe and Geoffrey Percy. Prize winners will be presented with IPF Certificates at the next club meeting.
This was Boyle Camera Club's first formal engagement with the IPF and we would like to thank all members that turned up to help out with the organisation and management of the event at Forest Park. As a consequence, the day went smoothly and to schedule. We would like to extend our gratitude also to Louise and Lough Key Forest Park staff for facilitating the event.
We are very proud of all our participants in the NPPI Competition and Boyle Camera Club, for the first time, will be very well represented at the National Finals of the NPPI competition next February.
