September Club Night Reminder

Our September club night will be held next Wednesday , 14th September at Valentine Bowling Club, commencing at 7.00pm. We have had to make some changes to the program that was described in our September Skiffy edition.

Alex Hunter is unwell with Covid and will not be able to make his presentation. Instead of Alex presenting to the club Bill Chambers will deliver his next installment of the “FUNdamentals of Photography”. Similar to the first session I suggest you bring your camera along so that as Bill takes a deeper dive into modern digital cameras you can follow along with your camera and have your questions ready.

Our print competition was going to be judged by Bruce Baker but he to is unavailable so in his place one of our club members who has recently completed the judging course, Peter Treloar will be the print judge for September. As usual we will hold our raffle and refreshments will be provided. See you then.
