Merry Christmas from Boyle Camera Club

Happy Christmas Everyone,

On behalf of the committee, I would like to wish all our members, guest speakers and friends of Boyle Camera Club a Very Happy Christmas and lots of great photographic opportunities in 2022. 

Maybe Santa might even see his way to deliver a new lens or two for those of us who have been very good boys or girls throughout this last year.



Enjoy some quality time with your loved ones, take time to breathe and enjoy the big and little things in your life.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Bernie O’Farrell
