This Tuesday we will have our annual “Show and Tell”. This is a night where members get an opportunity to show some of the photos they’ve taken during the summer. It’s also a chance to share new places/things/methods for us to shoot. About 20 photos each would be great.
It is also the 2nd Tuesday of the month which means “One Shot” night. We’re trying something a little different this year: instead of the winner picking the theme each month, we have set all the themes for the year. The thinking behind this is that members will have a more time to work on their entries. The winner will still judge the following months competition and get a prize of a 20 euro printing voucher in Harvey Norman, Rathfarnham. This month’s these is “Abstract”. BTW in case you didn’t notice the list of themes is at the bottom of this and all emails….so no excuses… Looking forward to seeing you all with your photos!
This Tuesday is our first meeting back in the Maldron at 8pm. It is also our AGM night.
The relevant documentation for the evening has been sent by email. In an effort to save the trees, as we never know how many will attend, can I ask that you print them out and bring them along on the night please?
1. Agenda and Minutes of AGM 2018
2. Agenda for AGM 2019
3. Update Constitution and Rules document (changes are in Red)
4. List of proposes changes to Constitution and Rules

Party and Awards
It’s that time of the year again!! Time to party and find out the results of the League. On Friday 24th we will have our end of year party and prize giving ceremony in Molloys, kicking off at 20.30. There will be a change to “Photographer of the Year”. This year there will be a photographer of the year in each section – so 3 trophies. There will be prizes for the winners in each of the 3 sections of competition in Novice, Intermediate and Advanced divisions. Fridays party will be the highlight of the year and is always a great night so pencil it in to your diary!!
One Shot
We have a slight change to this month’s one shot. We will have it at the party. Please print your entry and bring it along on the night for Paddy to judge. The theme is “Composite Photo”.
Tallafest
We are looking for volunteers to organise a stall for TPS at Tallafest on 22nd June. Unfortunately they’re not supplying gazebos or tables this year due to insurance reasons so we’d have to arrange that ourselves. If you’re interested let me or any of the committee members know.
No Meeting
We are NOT meeting next Tuesday night. (If you’re free/bored feel free to organise a get together through the WhatsApp outings group).
Tuesday Outings
Our Tuesday outings will kick off on the 28th. More on that next week!
We are NOT meeting in the Maldron Hotel on Tuesday the 14th. Instead Mark Pollock will lead us on a walkabout in Tallaght. This will afford members the opportunity to get to know the local photography spots and also take photographs to put forward for consideration for our 2020 Calendar. Meet at the car park at Molloys Bar at 7.30pm.
One Shot and Party
We have a slight change to this month’s one shot. We will have it at the party on the 24th May. Please print your entry and bring it along on the night for Paddy to judge. The theme is “Composite Photo”.
A big thank you to Andrew and team for all the hard work in preparing the panels and giving up their time to present them in Mullingar over the weekend.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
