Club Announcements - Tuesday May 6th 2025
Eddie Chandler Gallery
We have a new exhibition in the Eddie Chandler Gallery featuring images Wigan 10 Photography Club
Volunteers are needed for the Gallery. Volunteering is the only way to keep our gallery open and is a great way to contribute to the club. Anyone who is interested in volunteering can register on the club website HERE.
Re-location to the Digital Hub
In order to facilitate our re-location to the Digital Hub it will be necessary to temporarily close our studio in Camden Street. Hence no studio bookings will be possible for the two months of May and June. Booking will remain available until the end of April. Please note that Council fully intends to reopen a studio for booking by members in the Digital Hub in due course.
The Portrait Group will continue to meet - see Club Calendar and Newsletter.
Calling all "older" members
Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to all members who were around when we made the big move to Camden Street. If you joined the Club back before our Camden Street days and were part of that transition, I’d love to hear from you. I'm hoping to organise a group photo during May in Camden Street to celebrate that original crew. If you know of any past members who were part of the move too, definitely let me know. Just drop me an email at president@dublincameraclub.

ADMIN ITEMS
Council Subgroups
A topic discussed at the AGM is the importance of wider membership participation in running the Club. We are a very active Club with lots of activities. Too often it is the same few people over and over organising these activities. While many take part and benefit from doing so, it would be great to see more members taking an active role so we can all benefit and we can all develop our photography even more. To help make it easier to broaden the participation we will be setting up several new subgroups in the coming weeks.
Print Mounts
The Club ordered a good supply of mounts for the Winter League. These are on sale in the club for €2.50 for Cut Mounts and €2 for uncut. Mounts will be on sale on Tuesday evenings in the Club. Please bring the right change for the number of mounts you would like to purchase.
