Club Photoshoot to Mohill Horse Fair - Tomorrow, Sunday 30th Oct

Members are reminded of our club photoshoot to the Mohill horse fair tomorrow morning. This horse fair has been a popular event with Boyle Camera Club members over the past few years as it offers great photographic opportunities, as well as a chance to sample the unique atmosphere of the horse fair. It is also a chance for members to catch up with each other over a tea or coffee. 

Father and Son - Mick Nolan

On that note, we would like to remind you that the Tea Ladies at the fair will be donating their proceeds to the Baby Loughlin Og Burns Journey charity, and would be grateful for any support given on the day. 

We are meeting in the church car park in Mohill at 10am. We look forward to seeing you there.
