Photography Club launches 2026 Calendar


Kilcullen Photography Club's 2026 Calendar was launched in Woodbine Books last evening, writes Brian Byrne. It’s the eighth such publication by the club, which uses the proceeds for club development and donations to local organisations and charities. To date, some €4,000 has been given to deserving causes.
Club chairperson Sabina Reddy told those present that the main reason for the Calendar is to ‘capture’ Kilcullen, and in that respect, feedback from the many places it goes to has been overwhelmingly positive. She added that, even in the first year, the Calendar was being sent to Kilcullen people, family members, and friends across four continents.
Noting that this year submissions were invited from outside the club, Sabina said there had been a ‘fantastic’ response. She congratulated Noel Dunne (above), whose photo appears on the April calendar, and the runners-up: Celia Travers, PJ Lydon, Elisabeth Kehill (all below), Fr Gary Darby and Rachel O'Sullivan.

The 2026 Calendar will be on sale at next week’s Kilcullen Christmas Market, and is also available in Woodbine Books, Nolan’s Butchers, the Parish Centre, and from club members.
Sabina thanked local businesses for their sponsorship, noting that their generosity made the initiative possible. She also thanked Dawn in Woodbine Books for hosting the launch and her continued support of the club.
She concluded by saying the club always welcomes new members, and offers a range of projects, seminars, outings and exhibitions for them to enjoy.

Call for photos for 2025 Photography Club Calendar

Dave Byrne and Esther Reddy at the launch of the 2024 Calendar last November.

Kilcullen Photography Club is inviting non-members to submit photos for possible inclusion in their 2025 Calendar, writes Brian Byrne. One photograph will be chosen for inclusion in the calendar alongside selected photos from club members.
A maximum of two photos per submission should be emailed to kilcullenphotoclub@gmail.com. All submitted photos must have been taken in Kilcullen, and the final date for submission is Friday 11 October.
It will be the sixth calendar produced by the club, which has been in existence since 2017. The publication is sent all over the world to the Kilcullen diaspora by family members and friends.
Funds generated by the sale of the Calendar are used to buy club equipment and a portion is also allocated to a nominated charity or community organisation. Since the club produced their first one in 2019, they have donated close on €5,000 from calendar sales to a variety of charities. From the 2024 publication, a cheque for €500 was handed over to Kilcullen First Responders.

Photography Club exhibition opens

Club treasurer Carmel O'Connor hands over a cheque to Ronan Collier and Laura Begley of Kilcullen Community Responders.

The examples of member photographs on display at the Kilcullen Photography Club exhibition are 'truly amazing', the club's chair and secretary Dave Byrne said at the event opening last night. He said all contributors to the exhibition should be very proud of their work. 
He added that quite a few of the photographs on display had been taken with mobile phone cameras, showing that one doesn't need a big expensive camera to make good pictures.
Reflecting on the progress of the club since it was established in 2018, he said the ethos was to "enjoy your hobby and have fun."
The club runs regular workshops in the Kilcullen Parish Centre, covering all aspects of photography and catering for all from complete beginners to those who like to brush up on their photographic skills. Themes are chosen each month on which members submit photographs via a Facebook page where friendly critique is encouraged. Photography outings and family days are held during the year.
The club's largest project is the production of the annual Calendar, first published in 2019 to mark Kilcullen 700. "Little did we know how successful this Calendar would be," Dave said, observing that it is sent all over the world to the Kilcullen diaspora by family members and friends.
Funds generated by the sale of the Calendar are used to buy club equipment and a portion is also allocated to a nominated charity or community organisation. From the 2024 publication, a cheque for €500 was handed over to Kilcullen First Responders last evening.
On behalf of the club Dave expressed his thanks to all who had contributed to and helped with the Calendars, and in setting up the exhibition which continues through this Saturday morning. Prints are available to buy, and anyone interested in joining the club can leave their contact details at the exhibition.
