Our chairman Barry Linehan and our competition secretary Neilly Curtin travelled to Ballyfermot early Sunday morning to put up the panels. Neilly also roped in some members of his family to help hang the images.
Mallow put in a strong performance with their colour panel finishing with 349 points in total just 33 points behind Cork Camera Group’s winning panel.
In the mono section the Mallow panel scored 353 and was just 24 points behind Dundalk who won the overall prize
The highlight of the event for Mallow was when Bill Power’s image was Highly Commended. Well done Bill.
Congratulations to Dundalk and Cork on their success, and to all the members who got images onto the Mallow panel.
