2023 Club Portfolio Exercise
At our club night last week we hosted a visit from representatives of The Entrance Camera Club who presented on the portfolio exercise their club ran in 2022. Our special thanks to Barbara Blades and her colleagues for their presentation.
Hopefully now many of you are excited to create your own portfolio and to have this as one of your focuses for your photography in 2023. We are fortunate that like last year Roy Killen and Craig Parker have volunteered to mentor participants and our group.
If you wish to participate in our portfolio exercise this year please send me an email at bicton36@gmail.com by Friday 3rd March. In this email please indicate if you have a topic in mind for your portfolio or if you have no idea then perhaps what technique of genre of photography you wish to pursue or explore. I will collate the responses and provide this to Roy and Craig in readiness for a kick-off meeting later in March on a date to be announced.

2023 Club Fees
Please hold off on paying your 2023 club membership fees. As you know we are going through the process of setting up our new incorporated entity and will, as a result be increasing our annual club membership fees. We are yet to settle on the amount but will advise the details once these are known. If you have already paid a fee for 2023 this will be taken into account when we call for payment of fees.
In future we will not be processing payments by PayPal. Instead, we will be asking members to pay their fees by electronic funds transfer.
