Sunday 27th April 10AM

 We visit Derreen Bluebells woods in Boyle for the annual bloom of the bluebells and forestry.

 It has been decided to suit majority of members to meet on the Sunday but if some members want to meet at 

 10am Saturday feel free to do so at the newly developed car park through the woods adjacent to Derreen woods

 just off the N4 between Boyle and Carrick-on-Shannon.

 If you would like to by all means come along to both days and get in on the activities.

 Illustrated in picture is the meeting point where we will gather and set off as a group

                        

  

We will head to the Derreen woods to shoot some photos located about 1.5km along the R285 after leaving the N4 Dublin road (heading toward Knockvicar or Keadue)

Stick to the Ardcarne Garden Centre road to know your on the right path

As some may use the opportunity to go due to this is an official club outing and will gain extra points in the tally for Photographer of the Year within the Club.

Update on 08/04/25 Meeting

After our break: Members were treated to a display of 109 images from the recent visit to Strokestown house 

and gardens, for many choose to venture to the historic landmark on Saturday/Sunday 29th/30th march

For Mothers day fell on the 30th March this year really excuses why some choose the day beforehand

Prior to the visit we as members or some members had each agreed to submit a few of their shots for 

the purpose of Strokestown House advertising, we are waiting on a response to see if this arrangement is still necessary. 

I’m sure everyone’s excited to hear whether their images will be used.

Next months meeting we are planning on having a speaker on the night so be sure to mark the date

on Tuesday 13th MAY 8pm.....more details to follow in the coming weeks!
