Final Reminder – January Club Night and Club Extraordinary Meeting

This is a final reminder that our first Club night for 2023 will be at the Valentine Bowling Club at 7.00pm next Wednesday 11th
January.

The first item on the agenda will be to hold an Extraordinary Meeting that will vote on “winding-up” the Belmont 16s Photography Club.

The motion to be put is as follows:

  • To authorise the club Committee to apply for registration of a new photography club as an
    incorporated association.
  • To transfer the assets of the Belmont 16s Photography Club to the new incorporated club
    at a date determined by the Committee.
  • 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 closes on 10th January 2023.

I am hoping to see as many members as possible at our January meeting but if you can’t come in
person then please endeavour to join via ZOOM or, participate in the vote by submitting an
email vote to our Club Secretary – Susan Slack.

Following the Extraordinary Meeting we will hold our usual refreshments and judging of the January Print Competitions.

Please feel free to make suggestions on topics you might enjoy, share your thoughts on a photography topic via a Letter to the Editor or, submit an article for publication. I’m keen to add anything that is of interest to our members and I love to show off your images, so please don’t be shy.

And, make sure you check out ‘Save the Date’ I’ve updated this section with some helpful new information regarding competition entry cut off dates and times – never miss out on entering a competition again! 😀 

Enjoy 🙂
