June Club Night

Just a reminder to members that the 2022 Print Competitions will commence at our June Club night on Wednesday 8th June at the Valentine Bowling Club Function Room (VBC),commencing at 7.00pm. Our judge for the evening is Brad LeBroque from the Maitland Camera Club who many of you will know very well. If you are planning to enter one of the print competitions please read through the competition rules around the number of entries allowed and how to mount and identify your entries. If you have any questions please contact one of your committee members. The competition will be run in essentially the same way as previously with some adjustments to suit the venue. We will need help to run the evening so if you are planning to attend please help out on the night. 

In addition to the print competition we will be presenting the trophies and awards for the 2021 monthly competitions and the Image of the Year competition.
