Judges Choice award correction

Our apologies to Colin Woods who achieved the top award of Judge’s Choice in A grade Large Colour Prints section at our club print competition night last Wednesday for his image of “The Speaker”. 

By mistake, the award of Judge’s Choice was omitted in the initial publication of results. This has since been corrected online and once again our apologies for this oversight.

SOLD OUT …… Dangar Island Hawkesbury River Cruise

Not long until the Dangar Island Hawkesbury River Cruise.  Get your tickets and come and enjoy a day on the Hawkesbury River. 

Sunday, 15 March 2020

We will take a bus from the 16’s to Brooklyn where we will meet The Riverboat Postman and make our way to historic Dangar Island.  Once at the island, you have the choice to take the guided tour around Dangar Island or stay on the boat and enjoy the scenery.

Cost includes return bus transfers, leaving the 16’s at approx. 9am with return at approx. 5pm.  Morning tea and a ploughman’s lunch are included, with vegetarian and gluten free options available.  The boat is fully licensed so you will be able to enjoy a glass of wine, beer or soft drink (at own cost) while you are taking in and photographing the many sights.

Book your tickets, pack your camera and enjoy a great day on the water.

If you have any questions or to advise your dietary requirements, please email Barbara Hunter.
