Our first, very informal, coffee catch-up will be at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club next Monday January 15th at 9.30am. Everyone is welcome, just come along for a coffee, chat and catchup. We will meet somewhere on the back deck, weather permitting. Bring your camera if you wish. There are always photo opportunities at the Yacht Club to grab a quick snap. Do you have a camera settings or photography question you need answered? Well there should be a person there that will be able to help.
