Roy Finlay Memorial Natural History Competition 2024
Celebrating its 40th year the Roy Finlay Memorial Natural History Competition was held in the Fountain Centre Bangor

Many thanks to Ards Camera Club for hosting this event.
We had a special touch this year as Kayleigh and Isla Finlay were with us to celebrate their Grandas legacy. Kayleigh gave a wonderful speech that Roy would have been proud of.
Many thanks to
