Tuesday 2nd May saw the opening night of the 2017 Annual Exhibition. This is the 111th exhibition in our club’s long history. We were delighted to welcome everyone to CPA to view the prints and projected digital images on display at what turned out to be an even bigger exhibition than last year. Thanks to John Miskelly from Bangor & North Down Camera Club who judged this year’s exhibition entry and to Vittorio Silvestri and Frank Dunleavy who put so much work into the preparation.
