Northern Photographic Society (NPF) – Martinsville Studio Announcement
I have just received a flyer from Brad LeBroque on behalf of the NPF announcing the establishment of a new Photography Studio at Martinsville by members of the Wangi Camera Club for the use by members of NPF affiliated clubs. A copy of the flyer is inserted below. If you intend to attend please let me know by end of January so I can give Brad an idea of numbers from our club.

Results of Extraordinary Meeting
It was pleasing to see a very good attendance at our Extraordinary Meeting on Wednesday 11th January at Valentine Bowling Club to vote on the motion to wind-up Belmont 16s Photography Club in accordance with the club’s constitution. The motion put to the meeting was to:
- Authorise the club Committee to apply for registration of a new photography club as an incorporated association.
- To transfer the assets of the Belmont 16s Photography Club to the new incorporated club at a date determined by the Committee.
- To cease operation of the Belmont 16s Photography Club at a date determined by the Committee.
The motion was comfortably carried on a vote by members attending in person, via Zoom conference call and email votes received prior to the meeting.
The Committee will keep members advised on progress to establish a new incorporated photography club.

Maitland International Saloon of Photography – Group Discount Reminder
To date we have had only a few people indicate they are going to enter this competition and it looks unlikely we will get the requisite minimum of 10 entries. I suggest we set a deadline of this Friday, 16th December for you to indicate whether you intend to enter. Please refer to the previous post on the club website from 6th December which advises that you should contact David Richards – davidrichards5050@gmail.com or 0419 626 321(M).
Please remember that it is a straightforward process to enter digital entries from the MyPhoto club website. If you have some gems that have done well in club competitions this year or an image that you felt was under appreciated, here is a perfect opportunity to enter it in this competition and to have it assessed with new judges.
