The Creative Special Interest Group meets this Tuesday, Upstairs at Wadham House. Kick off at 7.30. Sorry this is a members only group, if you’re interested in joining the club please come along to the first or third Tuesday meetings. See the calendar above for details.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that the Flash and Portrait Group run by Teddy Tan, starts Tuesday 28th Feb 2017. Please see the flyer below for details:

Thursday 2nd March 2017 sees the inaugural meeting of the National & International Competitions group. Not only will you learn what is a good photograph to enter, there will be help with how to achieve honours and help with rules and definitions. To get the group going, we have Bronwen Casey EFIAP, MAPS, SSVAPS coming to set us off in the right direction. Don’t miss this opportunity to take your photography to the next level.

Due to unforseen circumstances, the Mentoring Group tonight has been cancelled.

Monday night’s training session will be Lightroom based and to be more precise, the Develop Module hosted by Lenore Pedrina.

In 2016 we have a big year planned for WCC members:

The AV special interest group will be held upstairs  at Wadham House.

I am pleased to let you know that our next AV group will be facilitated by Fred Seeber. Fred has a great depth of knowledge about the Proshow software and will answer your questions and if he doesn’t know he will find out. So come prepared to show any AV’s that you are working on and make sure you have heaps of questions for Fred.
