Dundalk scoops the Rosebowl trophy yet again
Congratulations to Dundalk Photographic Society on their wonderful success in this year”s National Club Finals! The finals saw 26 clubs vying for the honour of Top Club and the competition was particularly fierce with a fantastic range of high quality images on display. A big well done to anyone who got to represent their own club on any of the panels this weekend as the standard was as high as anything we have seen – the future of Irish photography is a very bright one indeed.
Thank you to Mullingar Camera Club for hosting the event and assisting the event coordinators with the difficult task.
Also thank you to Westmeath County Council for use for their fabulous venue, the county buildings.
