Elphin Agricultural Show - Saturday 31st August

The Boyle Summer Show was a great success this year and there were plenty of excellent photo opportunities for camera holders on the day. In the tent however, it was obvious that the photography section was very poorly represented. Perhaps the club needs to be more active promoting participation in this aspect of our local show next year! Well done to the participants though, in particular to 9-year old GrĂ¡inne Rooney, who won the Roscommon Herald perpetual trophy.

Members might be interested in taking part in the Elphin Agricultural Show which takes place this Saturday, 31st August. There is a photography section which has various categories;

  • Class 250: Best Child Study Coloured
  • Class 251: Best Animal Study Coloured
