I thought it was a great weekend. Hopefully judging by the number of smiling faces around in Ballinasloe, I hope this means that you all did too!
I would really like to thank all those who helped with organising the weekend - Gerry (initial contact with hotel), Harry (ideas on activities), Andrew / Dave and Lucy (aka the Events Team), and without whose efforts this weekend would not have been possible.
I was minded by something Paddy said to a few of us ... "it's great that everyone in the club is so open to sharing their knowledge". Therefore it is only right to thank Gerry (flash lighting course), Harry, Shay, and Peter to name but a few who were generous with their knowledge and their time this weekend.
Well done to all 30 for making it such a great weekend, especially the first-timers. Hopefully will encourage even more to go next year! I will be sending a letter to the hotel as well to thank them for all they did.
For those who were unable to get down, you might get a good sense of the the weekend when I say that some were just turning into bed after 6 just before others were getting out of bed to go on a shoot at 7.
Finally can I ask that if you have images or videos of the weekend, can you please email images to me and I will discuss with you getting the videos. Oh, and to get the ball rolling, you might recognise some of the diners in this shot!
