Dear member,

Several members have been discussing the possibility of alternative venues and practices should the Figtree Heights Primary School become a “Locked Down” venue due to Coronavirus/COVID-19. This could happen at very short notice and it’s important that you read any communication from the Club, either by email, Post and/or SMS should they be sent.

We are not anticipating any venue change however we must be pro-active and have alternatives for you. Currently Brian Harvey is investigating venue alternatives. Any venue change will be communicated with you as soon as it is possible.

2020 Annual General Meeting.

This Meeting will continue to be at the School unless you are notified by the Club as per my previous email and Post to you. Currently, there is NO CHANGE to time, date and venue.

Photography Group’s Print Competitions.

We are advising you of changes to the Print Collection with Closing Dates and Prints being handed in.

  • March 2020 Print Competition. NO CHANGE. The On-line Registration Closing Date remains the same, Saturday before the 4th Tuesday (Comp Night) at 11:45pm.
  • April and May 2020 Print Competitions. There ARE CHANGES.
  • On-line Registration Closing Date is the Saturday before the 2nd Tuesday (Presentation Night) of the Month;
  • Print Entry Hand-in. The 2nd Tuesday of the Month.

Why the change? Although we are not anticipating a venue shutdown we are looking at how to continue the Monthly Competitions during the next few months.

ALL Print Entrants please note the above changes. Yes your Print Entries will be required two (2) weeks earlier than normal. This will allow your Club to arrange for the Entries to be sent to the Judge, if required. You will need to modify your Competition Entry planning so that you do not miss out.

These are abnormal times and the situation can change very quickly. We are reviewing our Club’s Programme and Competition Practices in the unlikelihood there is a compulsory venue change. Again, the Print Entry results may be delayed and entry comments are placed on-line for you to view.

Thank you for your consideration of this advice. Management will continue to monitor this situation and advise you if and when any change to our practices will be made.

If you have any queries then you are most welcome to contact me to discuss your concerns. Thank you for your assistance in this situation.

Regards,

Bruce Shaw

President, Wollongong Camera Club.
