Yes, they’re back, Anthony is running his popular City Walks again and the details are below.

In April 2016 we are heading to Beechworth for a long weekend of photography. It is possible that many of the newer members don’t know that we have an annual weekend away and 2016 is no different. We will be visiting Beechworth and this is the 2nd time that the club has visited this location. For those who may not know, Beechworth is a beautiful high country gold-mining town located between Wangaratta and Albury/Wodonga. Approximately 3 hours from Melbourne, Beechworth has many attractions and towns such as Myrtleford and Bright are all within range of this location. Beechworth also gives access to Mt Beauty and ultimately Mt Hotham. The area is also well known for its European trees and their beautiful autumn displays of colours.

There are a range of accommodation options, please see below for further details. There are 10 rooms reserved at the motel. To book a room at the motel you need to email me and deposit money into the club bank account to secure your room.

Please feel free to make your own arrangements and when you do please make sure you let me know so I can keep you informed about our plans and activities.

The motel rooms currently available are:
Executive Twin (7): One queen bed and one single bed $137 per night
Family Suite (3) One queen and two single beds $152 per night

Another upcoming Sunday Outing organised by Ross and again this will be a great day out. We’re going to William Ricketts Sanctuary and The National Rhododendron with a BBQ lunch in between. I’ve been to both sites and there is a lots of photography subjects awaiting your expertise. Please remember that all members and GUESTS are more than welcome, if you are new to the club, please see Ross or a committee member upon your arrival and make yourself known, we wouldn’t want to leave you behind.

Octobers Sunday outing is looking like it will be a cracker as it’s being led by the world renowned photographer and all round good guy, Craig Francisco. Craig has a plethora of knowledge and his outing to Badger’s Creek will be a great opportunity to learn how to shoot moving water. Ever wondered how to get that smooth water effect then don’t miss this opportunity.

Please note that due to Grand Final Weekend, this outing is on the SECOND Sunday.
