Club Photoshoot - Enniskillen Fireworks - 31st October 2017
It was decided at this month's club meeting to once again hold a club photoshoot in Enniskillen on the evening of the annual Halloween fireworks display, which will be held on Tuesday 31st of October.
The fireworks will start at 8:00pm, so members will be meeting at 7:30pm. The meeting place is the car park on the Sligo Road where we met last year. The entrance to the car park is opposite Flame Fireplaces. For those of you unfamiliar with Enniskillen, but have a SatNav - the Postcode is BT74 7JX - and the co-ordinates are N54.344918 W7.649596 (or N54°20'41.7" W7°38'58.5").
Members will initially meet inside the entrance to the car park, on the Sligo side (on the left of the entrance looking back towards the road).
Bring a tripod if you have one.
A reminder will be sent out closer to the date.

Photoshoot - Benbulben Forest Walk - Sunday 23rd April 2017
The club's April photoshoot will take place on Sunday evening, 23rd April. The location will be the start of the Benbulben Forest Walk, which is signposted to the right off the main N15 road from Sligo to Letterkenny, a few miles north of Drumcliffe.
This location gives superb views of the north-western face of Benbulben, and the best time to take photographs should be shortly before sunset when hopefully the sun will cast light and shadow over the mountain. Sunset should be at 8:52pm - so members will be meeting at the Benbulben Forest Walk car park around 8:00pm.
In-car SatNav coordinates for the car park are:
You can also view the car park on Google Maps by clicking here.

Note that Google Maps calls it Gortarowey Forest Recreation Area - whereas the current signpost from the N15 calls it Benbulben Forest Walk.
