June Club Night
Just a reminder to members that the 2022 Print Competitions will commence at our June Club night on Wednesday 8th June at the Valentine Bowling Club Function Room (VBC),commencing at 7.00pm. Our judge for the evening is Brad LeBroque from the Maitland Camera Club who many of you will know very well. If you are planning to enter one of the print competitions please read through the competition rules around the number of entries allowed and how to mount and identify your entries. If you have any questions please contact one of your committee members. The competition will be run in essentially the same way as previously with some adjustments to suit the venue. We will need help to run the evening so if you are planning to attend please help out on the night.
In addition to the print competition we will be presenting the trophies and awards for the 2021 monthly competitions and the Image of the Year competition.

Judging Course – Expressions of Interest
The club will be running another Judging Course in August and is now calling for expressions of interest from those who may be interested in joining. Even if you do no judging after you have completed the course those who attend will gain an appreciation of how to critically review images and then provide feedback in a positive way. This will not only help other photographers but will help your own photography as you learn more about what elements you need to make successful images. If you are interested please get in touch with Bill Chambers on 0428 487 838 or batfish2@bigpond.net.au
