• The Boyle Summer Show this year is on Sunday 23rd August and the organisers have approached the camera club to become involved with the event. The committee have therefore decided, that we will sponsor a Theme-based Photography Competition, which will be rewarded with a perpetual cup. Club members are encouraged to participate and we will announce more details in the coming months.
• Finally, the next 'Open' themed print motivation is due in July. The committee have been discussing the format of this motivation and decided that in order to give every entry due consideration, mounted photos should be submitted a month ahead with the results being announced at the following meeting. Therefore, everyone taking part should bring their prints along to tonight's meeting prior to the results and critique being given at the July meeting.

• Presentation - Peter Kelly will discuss the issue of lenses, what all the numbers mean and which one is best for your needs.
