Next Monday Night  – OffShoot AGM

This Monday is as advised our Annual General Meeting which will be held at St Bridget’s National School Cabinteely at 8 pm. (This is a Physical Meeting only.)

This is your chance to hear about the progress of OffShoot over the past 12 months and to input any ideas you may have for the future.

The AGM will also elect four key members of the committee for 2023. All nominations welcome.

Exhibition Photobook

We are excited to let you know that the OffShoot Photobook including most of the images displayed at our Club Exhibition at DLR Lexicon during the summer is now available to purchase.

The books will be on sale at the AGM and the two SWM Showcases in December for €23 each.

The OffShoot Committee wants to thank Taryn Barling for the exceptional effort she has put into organising and putting together this Photo Book. Once you see it you will be as impressed as we are. Well done Taryn!

You can buy a book by paying at the meetings with Cash or pre-pay (we will then reserve your book for you) by making an electronic bank transfer to the OffShoot bank account. Please email the Treasurer at treasurer@offshoot.ie for the bank account details and to confirm when you have made your payment.
