Just heard that Ireland won the Celtic Challenge, hosted by the Welsh Photographic Federation in Llandudno, North Wales. This is a great result as we had done poorly in recent years. The IPF changed the way it selects images from targeting individuals to selecting images from accepted works in the National Print and Projected Images and from the National Club Finals winning panels and so this really vindicates that decision - well done all! To add to the process, this years selection was done in front of a large audience at the Dublin Camera Club premises in Camden St -  a great way for the IPF to involve its members. The night was enjoyed so much by DCC that they have asked to hold the selections there again next year - must be doing something right!!
