Club Christmas Party – FINAL Reminder
This is a final reminder about the club’s Christmas Party.
Our Christmas party this year will be held at Valentine Bowling Club in the upstairs function room on Sunday 4th December, commencing at 6.00pm. A two course meal will be served. Cost is $40.00 for members and $50.00 for non-members. Drinks from the bar at members cost.
There will be raffles and the presentation of our 2022 competition awards. This will be a great way to celebrate the end of what has been another disrupted year for club activities but will be a great opportunity for members families and guests to celebrate the festive season together.
Tickets are available from Barbara Hunter and Katherine James and can be paid before or on the night. If you would like to attend please contact Barbara (babsyhunter@gmail.com, 0429 772 280) or Katherine (katherine.44@bigpond.com, 0421 921 353) RSVP by Sunday 20th November.

November Club Night
Our next club night will be at the Valentine Bowling Club at 7.00pm on Wednesday 9th November. Our meeting will start as normal at 7.00pm with a presentation by myself on a road trip through Namibia I undertook in 2017. Following the presentation, we will have our normal break for refreshments and raffles, then a viewing of 2022 IOTY results.
This month for those that are interested we are going to include a practical session on capturing panoramic images on the lake foreshore adjacent to the club prior to the start of the November meeting. This session will be led by Greg Carruthers and will start at 5.30pm. This is obviously dependent on the weather so please keep this in mind. We will provide updates via posts on the club website closer to the time. If you are interested, please RSVP to Greg by Monday 7th November (0410 629 620, gkcarruthers@gmail.com ) if you intend to come along. For best results bring your tripod and L bracket and/or nodal rail if you have one. Greg will demonstrate both.
Note: This activity is at member’s own risk. The club does not have PL Insurance. The activity will involve walking around the foreshore area adjacent to the Valentine Bowling Club so dress accordingly.
