Waverley Camera Club

Waverley Camera Club runs a program of monthly competitions within the Club, and also competes several times a year against other clubs in Inter Club Competitions. Some members also enter National and International competitions.

Further information about our monthly competitions

For members who are interested in entering National Competitions there are several upcoming competitions available. Rosie Hughes has found the organisers of these competitions to be approchable and helpful.

• Maitland International Salon of Photography
  Closing date: 16 January 2012
• 31st Newcastle National Exhibition of Photography
  Closing date: 16 January 2012
• 2012 Australian Digital Photographic Awards (ADPA)
  Closing date: 24 January 2012
• 1st Adelaide AV National Exhibition 2012
  Closing date: 24 February 2012

Further information, including entry forms, is available on the Australian Photographic Society website under Competitions / Exhibitions.

In the coming year we will be having ten monthly competitions.

In a change from previous years, all of the monthly competitions will be open, ie there will be no set subjects. However please note that the March and September competitions will be open monochrome. You can use any subject you wish, but it must be treated as monochrome.

In order to avoid having a judging night on Cup Day in November, the judging night for the November competition (and the due date for the end of year competition) will be on the last Tuesday in October.

Finally, please remember that entries are due for our February competition next Tuesday 10 January, 2012. This will be a BBQ at a location still to be determined.

Update: The BBQ will be at Jells Park, arrive as early as 5pm, second hut near the main carpark when entering from Waverley Road.

As always we ask that you bring your partners/loved ones and a small plate of food.

A short note to thank all those members who attended our ’4 Club’ event last night, especially our new members who attended. It was great to see you roll up and mix so freely with members from each participating club.

Congratulations to each of the category winners for the night.

Though not as successful as we may have wanted, our congratulations go to all WCC members whose images were judged on the night.

A special thanks go to our own Pete Myers for organising the use of the AIPP meeting room and to our judge for the night, Randal Armstrong, whose effort and time taken to score the images in the first instance and then give on the night such valuable and verbal critique on each image was appreciated by all who attended.

A big thank you for those members who helped organise this 4 Club event.and ensured a smooth running on the night. I’m sure all club members join with me in sincerly thanking you for your valuable time and efforts.

Finally, thankyou for bringing a plate, the supper break rounded the night off nicely.

Best regards,
Ian
President
