Into the Next Year of CoVid 19 Restrictions.
Hi to everyone,
Yes, we have emerged from 12 months of CoVid 19 and the Wollongong Camera Club has survived and has indeed grown in size.
I would like to welcome a new group of members to the Club : Denis Goh, Graham Hamilton, Alletia Hogan, Luke Molloy and Les Schumer.
It will be a pleasure to meet you all, “facemask to facemask”, at our first Photographic Group meeting on Tuesday 9th February at 7:30 pm. We are to listen to an experienced speaker, June Andersen, who hails from the South Coast. Some members are already familiar with her work and this can be seen on her website.
As we are meeting under CoVid 19 restrictions, note that we will be temperature testing and recording attendance of each attendee. Masks will be required to be worn at all times whilst maintaining social distancing. So, please be patience with our Marshals who will be looking after your wellbeing. Full details will be posted on how we are implementing the plan. Seating will be fixed with the 1.5 metre social distancing with a maximum of 36 members allowed in the Hall. There will be no refreshments but you may wish to bring your own. No Name Tags will be given out.
Movement during the meeting is limited and social discussion is not encouraged between members.
There are changes in the Monthly Competition procedures and we will be accepting Mounted Prints again this year for judging on the night. The Print and Digital Image Competition closing time and dates are to be found here
The Competition Rules have been revised and these are to be ratified by members on the 9th February.
