Details about upcoming club outings. For further information about future club outings refer to our calendar of events.

The club has again entered the annual black and white interclub competition run by the Knox Photographic Society. The judging night is this Wednesday at the Boronia West Primary School, starting at 8PM followed by supper.

Unfortunately this clashes with our portrait and flash photography group, but if you are not going along to that, please come along to the judging night to represent the club, and possibly learn a thing or two from the judge’s comments.

The judging of the Pakenham National is this Saturday. We are still waiting to hear if observers are permitted or not. If they are, details will be posted in the next day or so. Let Pete know if you are interested.

Finally, this Sunday is the first of August which means it is also time for our monthly Sunday outing. As the exhibition for the VIGEX 2010 Salon also opens on that day we have decided to head down to Geelong for the exhibition (at the Geelong Art Gallery, Little Malop Street, Geelong). We will meet at the gallery at 11am, have lunch somewhere around 1pm, then a photo shoot somewhere after lunch.

This Sunday 4 July is an outing to the wonderful Cloudehill Nursery and Gardens in The Dandenongs.

Meet there at 10am. It’s not mentioned on the website but we have been told that there is an entrance fee of $5. It may just be a gold coin donation, so be prepared.

There’s also a restaurant there which may be open for lunch – if you are interested in having lunch at the restaurant please let Pete know ASAP.

A bit after 12 noon a modest turnout of Stephen Edmonds, John Hadfield and myself met at the Sandbelt Hotel for a leisurely Sunday lunch. Arriving at the museum around 1:30pm, WCC attendance doubled upon us meeting Leif, Natalie and Dale.

Despite an overcast day and some challenging shooting conditions inside the large dark hangar, there were many photo opportunities for those with an off-camera flash – jet turbines, piston engines, a fighter jet and more; while outside were several large commercial aircraft on display; 25 in total.

Putting claustrophobia in her stride, Dale got some exclusive cockpit time at the controls of some historic wartime flying machines while Stephen, John, Natalie and myself tinkered about and discussed the workings of a jet engine on display.

An enjoyable and interesting day was had by all.
