March Print Night

Our March Print Night will be held next week on Wednesday 13th March in the upstairs function room at Valentine Bowling Club, commencing at 7.00pm. The print judges for March are David Henderson (Colour and Small Prints) and Peter Ryan (Nature).

A few of the committee members will not be at this meeting so can I ask for some volunteers to assist Roy Killen in moving our gear from Roy’s car upstairs and then assist on the night with the setup and tidy up at the end of the evening. Roy will be in the dining area of the club from around 6.15pm. Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

Photoshoot Opportunities

At our recent February club night I mentioned an opportunity to support a worthwhile charity.

Our member, Susan Robinson is involved in the Legacy charity as a volunteer. Legacy provides a range of services to the families of Australian servicemen and women. From time to time Legacy holds events and there are opportunites for volunteers to attend and capture images of these events for use in Legacy publications. This is a great opportunity to develop and apply your camera skills in the service of others.

If you are interested in becoming a Legacy volunteer and helping with the running of this worthwhile charity you can contact Susan for more details. Susan can be contacted by phone on 0475 937 469, by email, sro18816@bigpond.net.au

Images captured at these Legacy events may be used by the photographer for club competitions providing the subject agrees.
