Happy New Year from Boyle Camera Club


2022 is coming to an end and as we have seen everything reopen post-covid it might be fair to say "all is back to the way it use to be"
It was a turbulent year but to be fair we all played our part for a more normal life than previous.....
                                                                                                                                                        

.....so Boyle Camera Club would like to thank its members, guest speakers and friends and also wish you a healthy, happy and fun-filled new year in 2023
