A Course for Potential Judges

The New South Wales Federation of Camera Clubs (FCC), in partnership with Bill Chambers & Roy Killen, will be holding a Photographic Judges’ Course in Newcastle on Saturday 30 September and Sunday 1 October, 2023. 

This is an opportunity for club members who would like to become involved in judging club competitions to develop their skills in image evaluation and critique. Developing your skills as a judge is a great way to improve your own photography.

If you would like to attend the course, please email Bill Chambers at Ambodiver@gmail.com or Roy Killen at roykillen@gmail.com.  Places in the course are very limited so please register your interest as soon as possible.

The cost of the course and other details will be finalised soon and sent to all those who express interest in participating.

PSA INTERCLUB – COLOUR RESULTS

In Round 3 of the Colour section of the PSA Interclub we came FIRST out of 25 clubs in Group B.

In Round 3, Dennis Archibald and Greg Caruthers gained Merit Awards, Alan Hinde and Roy Killen gained Honourable Mention awards.

We gained sufficient points to place us FIRST overall after the three rounds of the competition – two points ahead of our friendly rival, Wangi Workers Camera Club! This result will mean that for the 2023-24 season we will be promoted to Group A.

Thanks to all the club members who entered images for possible selection in all Rounds and congratulations to all those who had images selected to represent our club. Special congratulations to those who received awards.

Results for the other sections of the Interclub competition will be posted as soon as they are available.
