So on Sunday 30th March we have been given permission to freely wander with strict condition

The doors will be open from 10:30am only for club members, but we must leave the house by 12 noon (so that the house can open its doors to the general public)

∙ We will only have access around the ground floor rooms of the building 

∙ Items must not be displaced, moved or broken 

∙ If using a tripod, do so only if it has rubber feet to avoid floor damage 

∙ We can freely roam the gardens after with no time frame of when to leave

Admission on the day is reduced from €14.50 to €10 for club members only

Provided we submit at least 2/3 images from each attendee to Strokestown house for free marketing purposes…. This is as previously agreed on earlier shoots to Strokestown.

This the only day made available for the club 

 

Please respond to the poll on our WhatsApp group so we know the numbers that can attend

After our break: Tonights meeting was a great opportunity for members to share feedback and learn from each other. 

The positive atmosphere and willingness to listen to constructive criticism can really help everyone grow, especially in a creative environment.

                    Following up on the constructive feedback from last month's meeting, where committee members shared their own images, 

                    we’re introducing a new proposal for this month. 

                    All members are invited to submit two of your own images that you have taken, 

                    without editing, to give everyone a chance to share thoughts, ideas, and possibly receive  

                    helpful suggestions.

Please note: The purpose of this practice is not to offend or mislead anyone. Rather, it offers an  
                    opportunity for open and respectful feedback, where all members are welcome to comment  
                    and engage.

                    Deadline for Submissions: Midnight, Sunday, 9th March. (by dropbox)

                    The images may either be brought to the meeting on a USB memory stick, or submitted  
                    beforehand using the following link:

                    Click here to upload your images if you feel comfortable sharing them.

                    We look forward to seeing your images and engaging in a constructive discussion!
