Dear Member

Thank you for the strong support of the Online AGM to which many of you contributed and we are able to confidently look to continuing through 2020 with a new Management team.

Many changes are necessary already the Management team has had its first Zoom meeting today where the first discussions were held, many items discussed but the immediate ones are finalised.

  • All Competitions are to be online judged utilising the MPC system with the currently booked judges. This does pose some issues and I am sure you will be pleased to hear that the requirement to actually produce a mounted image for each Print category is not necessary until further notice .
  • However, the requirements for the Print of the Year 2020 are, that you are still required to enter a mounted image for each Print Category for judging at the end of the year. The actual points scoring regime will remain the same for the whole year.
  • Monthly Competition Entry Closing Dates; April 2020 Onwards. 
  • Both the Digital and Print Entry Closing Date is 2nd Tuesday of the Month at 11:45pm (23:45Hrs). Please plan wisely
  • Online Image Comments. The Management Team would like to encourage you to add comments to the members’ entries in the competitions after they are published.
  • Movie Makers.  It looks like online meetings will take place and with some interaction with other Movie Clubs in NSW. More details to follow.
  • Printers. If you are a printer of your own images please be sure to maintain the requirement of printers to have an image printed regularly to stop print head blocking.

What is the Future?

The Club’s 2020 Calendar will be updated in various stages. As the Club contacts the various Presenters, this advice will be advised via the calendar/posts/emails. Please make use of the Calendar to view all Activity status.

Your Management Team are on top of this and eagerly looking to giving all members the opportunity to keep the club fellowship relationships going into the future.

We are in a very lucky country and it is hoped that this event will only make the Club stronger for another 75 years and more. Keep safe.

Thanks

Brian Harvey, President
