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

Zoom Workshop February 24th
Our next Zoom workshop will be held on Wednesday February 24th at 7pm
Topic – A beginners guide to creating a Portfolio of photographic images.
As you may be aware in 2021 the club is encouraging members to create a portfolio of 6 images based on a theme or concept. Hopefully we can all learn or practice some new skills, open up some new ideas and challenge ourselves in our photographic journey.
The Zoom presentation is by Craig Parker, who is a winner of a distinction in PSA Portfolio work . I’m sure Craig will provide us with plenty of inspiration and knowledge about putting together a portfolio of images.
Zoom invites will go to all Zoom members on Wednesday morning. Check your emails! Meeting will open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start
Hope to see you there! GregC
