At our November Club night and via a post on our club website on 4th November I advised that your committee felt that in the best interests of our photography club that we should “wind-up” the Belmont 16s Photography Club and establish a new, incorporated body called the Lake Macquarie Photography Club. In accordance with the club’s constitution for this to occur 75% of the members in attendance and eligible to vote need to vote in favour of the motion. This motion will be put to members at the commencement of our January 2023 Club night which will be held at the Valentine Bowling Club, commencing at 7.00pm.

The motion to be put is as follows:

  1. To authorise the club Committee to apply for registration of a new photography club as an incorporated association.
  2. To transfer the assets of the Belmont 16s Photography Club to the new incorporated club at a date determined by the Committee.
  3. To cease operation of the Belmont 16s Photography Club at a date determined by the Committee.

Members can vote on this motion through one of the following means:

  • By attending the meeting in person
  • By attending the meeting via ZOOM using the link available on the club website. The ZOOM meeting will be opened at 6.50pm.
  • By submitting a vote via email to the Club Secretary – Susan Slack. Sue’s email address is gordon.slack15@bigpond.com

Early voting via email opens on 1st January 2023 and closes on 10th January 2023.

I will send out a reminder about the Extraordinary Meeting on 1st January 2023.

Finally and on behalf of your committee I wish you and your family all the very best for the festive season.
