Waverley Camera Club

Details of the inter club competitions. WCC often compete in inter club competitions with other clubs in the Melbourne camera club circuit.

Knox B&W comp

We have been invited to be one of six clubs competing in the annual Knox B&W competition.

Our entries are in and the judging night will be on Wednesday the 22nd of July. It will be an excellent opportunity to go and see some monochrome photography and I really do hope that Waverley can muster as many representatives as possible.

The venue is the Boronia West Primary School, Tormore Road, Boronia at 8pm.

Hi Guys,

We are in urgent need of some small prints for the Know B&W comp. We have to have the entries in to them by Tuesday 7th July 2009 and so far we have NONE.

Being a B&W comp the prints have to be monochrome. The image can be no larger than 5×7 inches. They must be matted and the matt can not be larger than 8×10. If you have anything we can enter (and I know some of you do) please deliver it to Albert Hutchison by Sunday night.

His address and telephone number is in the email sent to you all. The small print section of the Knox B&W is aimed at B graders so please don’t be thinking that you don’thave anything good enough to enter. If matting is the problem then ring me on the number supplied in the email and I will arrange to get the print from you and get it matted.

Just a reminder that our club has been invited to take part in the Knox Interclub competition on Wednesday the 22nd of July 2009.

The competition will be for “Novice Small Prints”, “Large Prints” and “Digital Electronic Projected Images” . It is an OPEN competition, but restricted to MONOCHROME only. Each club may enter 5 in each category.

The judging night will be at Boronia West Primary School, Tormore Road, Boronia. 3155. Melway 64 J8. (Near the Knox swimming pool) starting at 8pm and followed by supper.

All Prints should be mounted. Prints must be identified with a title, Club name and maker.

We will select 5 large prints from those entered in the recent 4-club and VAPS competitions. If you had a monochrome print in one of these competitions, please bring it to our next meeting.

There is a great oppprtunity for members to enter Novice Small Prints (Maximum mount size 8×10 inches – maximum image size 5×7 inches). We will seek interest at our next meeting.

Digital Electronic Projected Images will be selected from entries to our recent EDI competions.

So overall, a win by 1 point for Waverley Camera Club…(Cue…”We are the champions” by Queen). The “icing on the cake” was the fact that our own Teddy Tan won the individual award for best Monochrome print, and Tuck Leong won the individual award for best colour print, so well done Teddy & Tuck.

A great night, some excellent judging comments, and in the words of the judge “some absolutely excellent images”.

But despite the accolade of winning on the evening, the highlight for most WCC club members in attendance, and there were many, was the presentation of a club Life Membership to our very own Fred Bullock.

Congratulations Fred, from all the club members old and new who you have served so well over the years.

A more deserving award there could not possibly be!
