June Club Night Reminder
Our June Club night will be held next week, at Valentine Bowling Club, 7.00pm on Wednesday 12th June. Our print judge for the night will be the accomplished Ian English from the Wangi Camera Club.
Following the feedback we received from members last month the format for the evening will be a little different. Print judging will take us up to the refreshment break. After the break there will be a viewing of the May digital Set Subject competition.
