Many thanks once again to Mike Brown for judging our nature competition. The standard of entries was high which made Mikes job difficult.
For anyone interested Mike is running a nature course in Clonakilty on 20th October. Contact Mike for details.

A new gallery is now available for events that ECCG were involved with.

A lot of pictures were taken at these events but we then had nowhere to put them. Now we have finally found a home for these images which can be viewed by members and non-members if they wish.

A very busy day was had in Cobh on August 26th for East Cork Camera Group when the Navigator of the Seas arrived on a visit. Our exhibition on the prom went down very well and we successfully completed “the challenge”.

Many thanks to everyone that turned up on the day for the big effort that they put in and also to Peter Kidney in Cobh for all the help he gave us on the prom.

Full details and pictures from the day are now available here.
