Perfect Light for Catchlight Camera Club!

Catchlight Camera Club

Congratulations to the 2017 IPF National Club Championship winners, Catchlight Camera Club, who have just been crowned our champions! The Sean Casey Trophy Memorial Trophy returns to Northern Ireland for a second time in three years, throwing down the gauntlet for next year’s event! Malahide Camera Club narrowly missed the top spot, followed closely by Cork Camera Group taking third place.

Catchlight Camera Club

For the individual gold medals, congratulations to John Butler from Drogheda Photographic Club who won best monochrome print and Ita Martin from Malahide Camera Club who won best colour print. Full list of all the individual winners below.

This year the number of clubs increased once again with 26 clubs competing to an incredibly high standard. Congratulations to each photographer who was represented on their club’s panel at this national event.

A huge thank you to Competition Co-Ordinator Darragh Sherwin whose preparations and dedication ensured the competition went without a hitch. Thank you to all the volunteers who assisted him.

We also say a sincere thank you to our three judges for their work over the course of the weekend:

Barbie Lindsay MPAGB EFIAP/s FBPE
Adrian Lines MPAGB EFIAP FBPE ARPS
Armando Jongejan BMK FRPS

Special thanks to Jane Lines who presented ‘Going Solo’ – a superb lecture on Sunday morning!

Final thanks to Westmeath County Council for once again allowing us to use their beautiful venue – The Council Buildings.

Winning images and panels shown are shown below. Presentation photos will be added in due course.

The winning panels (best colour & best mono) and all individual award winners will be on display in an exhibition at the Eddie Chandler Gallery courtesy of Dublin Camera Club next month. Full details will be announced shortly.
