A look back at the outings from 2018

Throughout 2018 the club went on a number of fantastic outings, a huge thanks goes to Ross and Helen for organising them.

For each outing we create a gallery and encourage members to upload their images, from these a “mystery judge” will select one image.

Membership fees for 2019

Tim Keane

Please be advised that the Membership fees for 2019 are now due and payable before the new year gets underway. Entries for the first competition night will not be eligible for consideration until the member has paid their fees for the 2019 year. Those new members who joined the Club after 1 October 2018 have already paid for the 2019 year.

The preferred method of payment is through TryBooking at: https://www.trybooking.com/ZNYA

Please note that this system will charge an extra 30 cents on top of your membership fee, which the Committee feels is reasonable for Members and it makes the considerable task of gathering and recording payments much easier for our Treasurer. If you would prefer to make other arrangements for payment please contact Ken Barnett, our Treasurer at treasurer@waverleycameraclub.org.

Thanking you all in anticipation,
Tim Keane
Secretary

November 2018 Workshop – Explore the finer points of our cameras

Vicki Moritz

As a result of the weather forecast next Tuesday night – 95% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms – we will not be doing a beach outing for our evening workshop!

Instead we will “stay in” and learn more about our cameras. We will meet at the Mt Waverley Community Centre at 7:30pm where there will be four areas set up for owners of our most common camera brands – Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus. Owners of any other brands are welcome to join in – perhaps there is a brand you would like to know more about.

Together we will explore the finer points of our cameras – bring your manuals just in case!

Also a reminder that bookings for the EOY Dinner/Presentation night on Tuesday 4th December close on 23rd November. Book online through TryBooking.

Wrap up of the Whittlesea Show

Helen Warnod

Despite being a long weekend, 14 participants attended our outing to the Whittlesea Show on the morning of 4th November, 2018.

Helen Warnod - Long morning

The weather was perfect and following a cup of coffee, we plunged into the crowds to watch a range of events and enjoy the animal stands and exhibitions of crafts and trades. We capped off the day with lunch together in the sun at the main oval before driving back home through the beautiful countryside. Thanks to all for a great day!

New Competition Structure for 2019

Vicki Moritz

To remain relevant and responsive to our members in 2018 the committee undertook a survey of members on a number of issues. One of these was to determine whether the current monthly competition structure needed change. After consideration of all the information received, the committee decided to go with a 3 tier competition structure in 2019.

Whittlesea Show outing – November 2018

Helen Warnod

Our next outing is at the Whittlesea Show on the morning of Sunday 4 November 2018.

This Outing will provide a range of photographic opportunities as there are live animal judging events, live performances, displays and entertainment. Dependent on your preferred photography interests, a range of lenses and equipment should be considered.

The weather will be an important factor to keep in mind as it is an outdoor event and shelter may be difficult to find at short notice. A weather forecast will be included in the final mailout. Please come prepared for rain, just in case.

We will begin at 9am at the Whittlesea Showgrounds and conclude with lunch

Final details will be sent to you once we establish final numbers.

Please let Helen know if you are interested in carpooling. Carpooling is now quite popular, so if you would like a lift or you are happy to offer your car, please let Helen know when you register.

Register with Helen at outings@waverleycameraclub.org by 5pm on Friday 2 November 2018.
