Annual General Meeting – 18th October 2016
The club will hold its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 18th October 2016 at 7.30pm in the Craft Room at Mt Waverley Community Centre. It is important that as many members attend as possible so we’ve spiced things up by having a Buy, Swap and Sell session to be held directly after the AGM.
If you want to have a say in running the club or you have points that you wish to bring up regardless of what they are from things we are doing right or wrong all the way to places to visit in 2017 or competition themes etc. then, you need to attend the AGM.
Please remember that the club is only as successful as it is because of the tireless work that the committee and the members carry out behind the scenes, if you think that you can help then why not volunteer? You don’t have to commit to being on the committee, there are plenty of other things that need to be done from buying coffee, tea and biscuits for the competition night right through to running mentoring sessions. Of course there is no requirement to help out but if you want a say in how the club runs then this is your opportunity.
Please bring along any photography related equipment that you wish to give away, swap or sell to make this a successful evening because lets face it, after the AGM we will need something to bring us back to reality 🙂
Sports Photography – Mon 10th October – CANCELLED
Sorry everyone but, due to a power outage that has affected Craig’s property and some other members who live in the same area I believe, tomorrow’s Sports Photography Session as had to be cancelled. Craig wasn’t able to produce his lesson plan so he will hopefully be able to organise the session for next month.

Sunday Outing 5th June 2016 – Queen Vic Market & The Mad Max Halls of Justice
The June Sunday outing will be to Queen Vic Market and the Mad Max Halls of Justice and more accurately the underground car park at the Melbourne University Campus where part of the movie was filmed. Ross tells me that there will be a particular emphasis put on the composition of images and there will be members on hand to help anyone who requires some tuition etc. Here’s reminder if anyone cannot remember the Mad Max scene or haven’t seen the car park:
Please don’t forget to email Ross if you are attending so he can work out numbers and we’re not stood waiting for people who aren’t coming.
See you there!
