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.
