The Agenda for Tuesday night's, June meeting is as follows;

    • The Boyle Arts Festival is looming once again and BCC will be holding its usual exhibition in Boyle Library between 23rd July and 1st August. For those interested in exhibiting we will require you to submit up to 4 images on a memory stick or CD at tonight's meeting to a committee members, together with entry fee as of €35. The committee will then select the image to be printed, framed and exhibited during the Festival. At the conclusion of the exhibition, you will have your framed image returned to you. As is our custom, we will be donating the takings of picture sales to our chosen charity. This year we are asking the members to nominate our preferred charity, local or national it is entirely up to you.
    • 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.
  • Tea/Coffee Break
