Last night the 4 Club presentation night was hosted by Camberwell, with Camberwell, Caulfield, Maroondah & ourselves competing for honours. Nigel Beresford (from Warragul) was the judge. The other clubs were well represented in-person and the event was broadcast to 100 participants live.

I am pleased to advise everyone that Waverley came out on top again, and took home the 4 Club trophy!

We were very strong in both the EDI sections with several award-winning images, but it was the overall strength of all our entries which enabled us to take home the honours.
