Visit to Mayo Photographic Club

All Members of Boyle Camera Club have been kindly invited to attend a Mayo Photographic Club weekly meeting on Monday 5th February next. The Mayo Photographic Club are a long established club and their members have visited Boyle Camera Club many years ago when we were just starting out. We are delighted to renew that connection and hopefully continue it into the future. 

On the night, they will be giving us an insight into their club and some of their members work, which covers many different genres of photography. This promises to be a very interesting and fun evening, with plenty of photography and discussion and a great opportunity to meet our neighbouring photographers.

Mayo Photographic Club meetings take place at 8pm in Macalla Hall, Lough Lannagh Village, Castlebar, Co. Mayo. This is just over an hours drive from Boyle and Sligo. Depending on numbers we may car pool from Sligo and Boyle. 

There is a post on the forum here for people interested in going.
