Castleisland Camera Club had another very successful meeting last Thursday night with more new members in attendance.
By Breda McGaley PRO
Con Dennehy also attended and gave a very comprehensive talk to the group before answering questions on photography and camera basics.
Something for Everyone
The club is made up of people of varying ability – from real beginners to more advanced and everything in between – but there was something for everyone in Con’s presentation.
Our first outing as a club was discussed at this meeting.
Gleann Na Ginnte
As we are lucky enough to have the esteemed mountain runner, John Lenihan as a member, it was decided that we will venture to Gleann Na Ginnte on a date to be confirmed.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday May 4th in the NEWKD offices at 8.15pm.
An annual membership fee of €50 will be due on this date and we would encourage any other photography enthusiasts to come along and join us.
