Next Monday Night  – Quiz Night

Next Monday, we will hold a Quiz Night. Come join us and see how much you know about photography and see how good your general knowledge is. May the best team win!

 

As usual, the meeting will be held in St Brigid’s School at 8 pm.

 

AGM

The AGM will be held on Monday the 28th November. The Agenda and further information will be sent out over the next few days. It would be great to see as many people there as possible at the AGM.

One of the main tasks at the AGM will be to vote in the four mandatory committee positions of Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Competitions Secretary. The other roles will be appointed by the incoming new committee. 

It has come to the time of year that we need to start thinking about the new committee for 2023. 

 

New Committee

If anyone would like to join the committee and help shape the future of the club, please let the present committee know, or, you can let Emily know at chairperson@offshoot.ie.

 

Next Competition - Reflections

The theme for the next competition is Refections which you can interpret any way you like for example reflections on surfaces, water, windows, puddles, mirrors, metal, shiny objects and wherever your imagination takes you. 

As usual please save your images in JPEG format and name them with your Level Number, Membership Number and Image Title:

L2-001-Image title.jpg

 
This is a projected competition for all levels.  Images need to be uploaded to the Dropbox link (https://www.dropbox.com/request/JNvnZ3R2wkFeszAoNkbu) by midnight Monday 7th November.
 
You can submit up to 2 images.  
 
The judging will be a Zoom meeting on Monday 21st November and the judges are Eamonn and Christine from Skerries photography.  Their website is https://skerriesphotography.com
 
We would encourage everyone to participate especially new members, as the feedback from the judges is always useful and informative.
