Survey closes tomorrow – Return to the club auditorium for print nights

It is important to respond to this request before the 10th of March – if there is insufficient feedback these print meetings may not proceed.

We have been informed by our parent club that if the photography club wishes to,  our regular print nights can resume. 

The management committee seeks to get feedback from the membership whether you would attend these print nights.

Subject to confirmation, the intention is to conduct the first meeting on the 21st of April.  

Please email Colin Woods at colin@myphotoclub.com.au or phone/text 0419 624 347 whether or not you would attend this meeting and subsequent regular print meetings.
