Tuesday 17th May heralded the opening night of the 2016 Annual Exhibition. This is the 110th exhibition in the long history of CPA. We were delighted to welcome so many to our club to view the prints and projected digital images on display at what has turned out to be one of our biggest exhibitions in many years. Thanks again to Damian McDonald ARPS from CBPPU who judged this year’s exhibition entry and to Gavin Toman who as Exhibition Secretary put so much work into the preparation, ably assisted by Frank Dunleavy.
