Lions photo project

Kilcullen Lions Club is organising a photographic competition as a means of recording the built environment and the people of the town for future perusal.

The competition is planned to begin mid-summer and is envisaged as a 'record-keeping' of the changing scenes and personalities who make the town what it is over the years.

The idea is that the the best efforts from those taking part would be kept in albums in Kilcullen Heritage Centre, and really interesting ones would be framed and humg for public display.

The person behind the idea is Angela Murray-Hayden, who says that the emphasis will be on subjects and compositions that are 'uniquely Kilcullen' in the viewfinders of the photographers.

She has also appealed for offers of photos from ten, 20 or more years ago to fill back reference volumes.

"Hopefully, together we will build a photographic, social, architectural and environmental history of Kilcullen," she says.
