Summary of our 13/01/2026 club meeting

After ringing in the New Year, we got underway with our first club meeting of 2026. Together, each committee member shared a couple of their digital camera images from past to present, showing how their photography has improved over time. We both heard and saw the stories behind the images, discussed how skills have developed, and answered questions that may help others along the way.

It was great to see new faces, and on the night we met and spoke with several new members who are eager to take part in our club—an added bonus for everyone. We wish them the very best of luck in competing in all our activities, and guidance will always be there if needed.

We also learned that we are preparing for a club exhibition in Ballina, Co. Mayo in the coming months, so please stay tuned for updates.

Last but not least, our weekend away this year will be a trip to Bellmullet, Co. Mayo. Any members wishing to join us on this group trip will need to book their accommodation in advance over the coming months—more information to follow!

With that said, we are looking forward to an eventful year ahead, including taking part in our annual Boyle Arts Festival exhibition in the summer of 2026.
