Awesome Abstracts with Mieke Boynton

Vicki Moritz

7:30pm on Tuesday 16th Feb, 2021 via Zoom

Mieke is known to many members and we all know she can do a really good online workshop! When Mieke and I were discussing whether the first workshop for 2021 would be in person or by zoom we elected for a remote presentation just in case! Little thinking we would be in :ockdown 3.0!! So Abstract photography is something you can follow up on Wednesday and beyond – though you will need to leave home to do the aerials!

First Honours SIG meeting for 2021

Vicki Moritz

The first of the 2021 honours meetings will be held on Wednesday 10th February 2021, 7.30 pm via Zoom.

New members are very welcome and we will start the year with an overview of the various systems, and a discussion about why you would want to take this step!

Please send your award winning images from the last year or two through. We can all learn from what has done well! Also any images you are thinking of submitting for critique

Returning to in-person meetings

Stephen Edmonds

We will now be holding a mix of in-person and online meetings. In general the competition night and workshop will be in-person at the Mount Waverley Community Centre, while our special interest groups will generally be online using Zoom but may use the craft room or Wadham House. Check the weekly Waverley Watson email or the calendar for details.

For in-person meetings we will be taking the following COVID safe precautions:

  • Do not attend if you feel unwell.
  • All attendees over 18 years of age must carry a mask indoors and wear these on entry and when not seated. BYO mask, although we will have some (cheap & nasty) ones if you forget.
  • We will provide sanitiser & ensure attendees use on entry & through attendance.
  • There will be several people on the front table, one of whom must record your attendance.
  • The seating layout will be done by Monash Council staff to ensure COVID distancing. Number of attendees must not exceed 70 in the main hall.
  • We have decided not to do Tea/ Coffee until further notice. If you like, you could bring your own drink in a bottle or Thermos.

New Year Event – Picnic-In-The-Park

Russell Lucas

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a terrific festive season and, notwithstanding the continuing annoyance that COVID brings, I hope you managed to spend some special moments with family and friends.

We are planning a Picnic-In-The-Park event on Tuesday January 12th, starting at 5:30PM at Jells Park. Note that this event will only proceed if current restrictions remain in place and the weather cooperates. It is important that you monitor your email for any updates on the Tuesday.

This will be a catered-for event (with the option to BYO food if you prefer). To make this as easy as possible in the event of a cancellation, we are planning to cater with pizzas, a simple green side-salad, and a choice of two desserts. This approach means we do not have to order anything until the day of the event.

If you have decided to join us, the most important thing is that you must register for the event for the purposes of contact tracing and catering.

And don’t forget, we want to get our print competition up and running again in 2021, so please bring along your prints to the picnic event to submit for the February competition night.

I hope to see you at Jells Park on the 12th.
