Waverley Camera Club

Tomorrow night is the first of our monthly comps for 2010 and don’t forget that the competition nights are now held in the Craft Room at the Mt Waverley Community Centre. It’s a hop, skip and a jump from Wadham House on the corner of Miller Cres and Stephensons Road.

Please don’t park in the Wadham House car park as you would normally do as we are not renting Wadham House on the night. There is plenty of parking at the community centre.

This will be the deadline for the March comp so bring along your prints on the night. Digital copies of the prints and the EDI entries must be bought along on disk or emailed by this date also.

Also stay tuned for more information about the outing to Cranbourne Botanical Gardens on Sunday the 7th of Feb.

Congratulations to Teddy Tan and Peter Myers for winning the monthly EDI competitions.

Congratulations to Ron Weatherhead and Peter Myers for winning the monthly print competitions for the year 2009

Just a quick reminder to those who don’t know, the President’s Trophy will close for entries at midnight on the 30th November 2009.

This year, we will be running an end of year competition for our beginners, new members and registered guests.

If you fall into this classification, the idea of this competition is to encourage you, and get you used to entering images into our competitions

The competition will be judged by none other than our beginners group co-ordinator and club president, Pete Davies!

If you want to enter this competition (and you should) you are invited to submit just ONE entry in an “Open” classification, whichever entry YOU consider to be your best entry. You can submit their entry as an EDI to comp@waverleycameraclub.org . All you have to do is make sure the subject line says “EOY Beginners, New Members & Guests Competition” (Copy and paste this if you like!)

The competition is open to all “B” graders, to all new members to all beginners and our registered guests. The proviso being that you should have submitted entries in no more than THREE of our monthly competitions. If you are not sure if you qualify for this contact Jill Myers our membership secreatrey, by e mail and she will clarify for you.

The competition will be judged on the last of our monthly “Beginners Group” meetings on November 24th. The closing date for EDI entries is Nov 22nd. If you are submitting a print, just bring it along on the night of Nov 24th.

I think, and hope, that this idea will stimulate our beginners to understand what is involved in entering a competition, and to help them loose their reluctance to  enter competitions.

As with the regular EOY competition, a prize and trophy will be awarded to the winner.

Good Luck…and don’t be shy…remember if you don’t enter, you can’t win!
