The Summer BBQ takes place on the 25th June which heralds the start of our Summer Break. 

The BBQ is open to all members and the cost of food is covered by the club. You, unfortunately, will need to buy your own drink.


The BBQ is at the Royal St. George Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire this year. Full details of the event are here.

This is also the last newsletter before the Autumn. However, various activities will be organised on as many Monday nights as possible and the club outings will continue.

Watch out for emails and check regularly at our web site "Whats On" Section (link).

Shutter to Think Photography Exhibition by DAYCENT EXPOSURE, Thursday 28th June from 6 - 8 pm

The Copper House Gallery is delighted to announce the launch of Shutter to Think Photography Exhibition by DAYCENT EXPOSURE, Launch Thursday 28th June from 6 - 8 pm.

Born in the wilds of Clare, from a young age Daycent Exposure, sometimes known as Leanne Walsh, has looked at the world through cartoon eyes. As a child, her dad was never without a camera in hand. Following him through forests, up hills and underwater, watching him put himself in precarious positions to capture something only he could see, instilled in Leanne a great curiosity and interest in taking photos. Slide projectors were her first glimpse of the joy of the still moment and, although technology has moved on, she is still following her dad into forests and up some pretty steep hills. For Leanne, photography is fun, freeing and captures moments she would have since forgotten or reimagined. 
 
This exhibition is a selection of my favourite images from my travels in and outside of Ireland over the last 5yrs. I have no interest in adding to the lofty intellectual waffle that sometimes surrounds art and photography. There is no grand overarching theme to the exhibition. I chose these particular photographs because the subjects simply captured my attention and fired my imagination. I love to take pictures. I hope you enjoy.
