July Competition Night Cancelled
Due to the current Covid 19 situation in the Greater Sydney area and the current restrictions in Newcastle the club committee has decided it would be prudent and in the best interest of members to cancel the July Competition Night. The current situation is evolving rapidly and there was a strong indication at the most recent briefings by the Premier that the current lock down in Sydney would continue into the week of our July Competition Night. Your committee will continue to monitor the advice from N.S.W. Health and the daily briefings from the N.S.W. Government. Resumption of Competition Nights will be dependent on the status of the current Covid 19 outbreak and advice from the N.S.W. Government.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Please note that the AGM for the Belmont 16s Photography Club will take place on August 11th 2021 by Zoom. The meeting will commence at 6.30pm and will be followed by the Zoom presentation re Black and white Travel Photography at 7.00pm.
All committee positions will fall vacant immediately prior to the commencement of the AGM. These positions include: President, Vice President, Honorary Treasurer, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Assistant Secretary plus 5 General Committee Members.
Members who wish to nominate themselves for a position on committee need to send an email to the Secretary Susan Slack (gordon.slack15@bigpond.com) stating the position they wish to nominate for. Members who wish to nominate another member for a position must first obtain permission by the nominated member and they must notify the Secretary to that effect. Each nomination for self or for another member should also have the name of the seconder included in details sent to the Secretary who will verify each nomination’s details.
All nominations must be received no later than 7 days prior to the AGM (midnight on 4th August 2021).Where no nominations for a particular position are received within the time noted above, nominations may be called for on the night. If no nominations are received on the night the position is declared vacant again. The committee may appoint a member directly at a later date if necessary.
At least 2 committee members have already declared their intention to not ask for renomination at the AGM. These include the current President. This is an essential position. One position is not an official Constitutional one but essential to the smooth running of the club: namely Membership Coordinator. Annette Collins can give more information about this role. Please contact her by email if you are interested. The address is annette.collins@me.com) It is not a difficult role I am assured. Nominations for this role are not required.
NOTICE OF MOTION Please note also that due to some difficulties arising from Covid 19 regarding determination of membership of our patron club, we need to make a minor change to the Constitution: The proposed change is as follows
“ Fees and Subscriptions part d.
“Membership of Belmont 16ft Sailing Club Ltd shall be confirmed to the Honorary
Treasurer in April each year by forwarding a copy of the receipt for membership to the Honorary Treasurer or a current membership card by any appropriate means”
A motion to this effect will be made at the AGM
A copy of the AGM minutes for 2020 and the agenda for the AGM 2021 will be available on the club website closer to the time of the AGM.

July Zoom Workshop
Our next zoom workshop will be held on Wed 14th July at 7pm with login from 6.45pm. The topic is “Image Evaluation” This is a chance for everyone to evaluate 3 of their images and to view other images from members and evaluate and make comments using some techniques outlined in a handout document from Jen Fawkes who presented for us in June.
To be involved simply upload any 3 images into the members area for “July Zoom Workshop Image Evaluation” It is ready for upload now but will close next Tuesday at 11.55pm! While you are doing this select the blue button “download file” and download the word doc on image evaluation.
Login to the Zoom meeting on Wed 14th July and you will be placed into small groups of approx 5 or 6. Roy Killen, Bill Chambers and Dennis Archibald have volunteered to be discussion leaders for each group. You will be able to view your own files and those of the other members in your group and comment on and evaluate their images with guidance from your leader and the image evaluation doc.
This is an opportunity to get an idea of what judges may be looking for in your image and how others see your image. Hopefully a great learning opportunity for everyone!
Thanks GregC
