This is a final reminder that if you have entered the print competition for the 2022 NPF Convention you can drop off your prints at the club night on Wednesday 10th August (tonight) or leave on the front verandah at my home at 37 Seaview Close, Eleebana.
The program for the NPF weekend is now available and is shown below. The organisers have stated that this is subject to change and for those attending check the NPF website for updates.
What to bring
Please bring your camera so you can participate in the activities and try the equipment available from companies supporting the NPF.
Cost
For members who have entered the photographic competition entry is covered by the competition entry fee. Entry to the NPF weekend is $50.00 for members who have not entered the photographic competition. For members and the general public who are not attending any of the sessions over the weekend and only wish to view the exhibition entry to the exhibition is $10.00.
Meals
Morning Tea is included in the entry fee. Lunch can be purchased from the Kurri Kurri Bowling Club Bistro. NPF participants will receive a member’s discount on meals for the weekend. Please Note: You cannot bring your own food and drink into the club premises. A lot of work from volunteers sourced from most of the local clubs has gone into organising this event. It’s now up to you to participate in the fun.
As those of you that have attended one of the previous NFP meets, you know we have informative but fun presenters who converse about their unique photographic journey and experiences. If you are an NPF virgin, welcome…. you are in for a treat.
