Castle Coole Photography Project
February 22, 2012
To members:
I have forwarded an email from Kate McAloon at Castle Coole outlining the plans within the estate to celebrate 60 years of the involvement of the Trust on the estate. The project will involve members of the society volunteering to take photographs of the various events planned for 2012 with a view to us holding an exhibition of images towards the end of the season. The trust will supply passes for volunteers to gain free access to the estate during the project. The list of events is shown below and if you would like to be involved in the project please email me back or let me know tomorrow night at the Shadows competition.
Just a reminder the that the Shadows/Low light competition night will take place tomorrow night 23rd February in Ardhowen at 8.00pm. Digital images should reach me by email attachment by lunchtime tomorrow.
Thank You

Hi Raymond
Further to our meeting before Christmas below is a list of our events schedule for Castle Coole from March – September. We will be looking at the Autumn/Winter events at the end of March.
I know we discussed the possibility of getting passes arranged for any of the society who would be happy to take some images of Castle Coole during our 60th year of care and access to Castle Coole and also then looking at the possibility of an exhibition later in the year.
If this is something the society is still interested in I would be happy to meet up and arrange passes etc.
Hopefully speak to you soon.
Many thanks
Kate
