Assistant Treasurers Position

At our last committee meeting it was decided that there were benefits for the club if we appointed a person to the position of Assistant Treasurer. In addition to relieving our Treasurer during periods of absence the Assistant Treasurer would have the responsibility of managing the bank account for the Lake Macquarie International Competition and for working with Roy Killen to ensure the successful running of this event. This is a good opportunity for a club member to become involved in running our club and assisting Roy with the financial aspects of the Lake Macquarie International. 

If you would like to find out about what is involved please contact Liz Woods  – elizabeth.j.woods@gmail.com or Roy Killen – roykillen@mac.com

Survey closes tomorrow – Return to the club auditorium for print nights

It is important to respond to this request before the 10th of March – if there is insufficient feedback these print meetings may not proceed.

We have been informed by our parent club that if the photography club wishes to,  our regular print nights can resume. 

The management committee seeks to get feedback from the membership whether you would attend these print nights.

Subject to confirmation, the intention is to conduct the first meeting on the 21st of April.  

Please email Colin Woods at colin@myphotoclub.com.au or phone/text 0419 624 347 whether or not you would attend this meeting and subsequent regular print meetings.
