We stayed in Cappabhaile House in Ballyvaughan (where the Club Members had stayed on several previous visits) and special thanks to Conor and his team for looking after us so well. Here's the link to his website - https://www.cappabhaile.com. It was great to see some of Member Eddie Mallin's monochrome images on display at the B+B.
Also special thanks to Members of Ennis Camara Club who took the time to meet with us at the nearby Poulnabrone Dolmen despite inclement weather. Thanks to Chairman Michael Kearney, Joe Ahearne Vice Chairman, Thomas O'Flynn Outdoor Event Organiser, Michael Boland Secretary and Member Gerald McCullough. Their wealth of knowledge generously shared was much appreciated.
