Fantastic 4-Club Results – April 2015
After a nail biting wait the 4-Club judging night finally arrived at Eastern Suburbs new club rooms at Ringwood North. The night was quieter than usual with the failure of Berwick to submit any images and subsequently none of their members attending. It was also a little disappointing to see only 6 Waverley members and 2 partners representing our club. However, after what was a slightly shaky start with their new projector and it being only their third meeting at the room, we got into what was to turn out to be a great night for Waverley. The mono prints were the first to receive the judges treatment followed closely by colour prints and the EDI. Before I publish the full results, I would like to congratulate several people on their results, please note that the scores are out of 15, as follows:
EDI
Cuc Chong – The Horn – 15 Pts and 1st Place
Marie Shaw – Surfer Girl 14 Pts
Diane Willis – Size Prevailed – 13Pts
Colour Prints
Stuart Barrie – Marty’s Hot Rod – 15Pts and 1st Place

4-Club Interclub Competition – Wed 15th April 2015
Ever wondered what other photography clubs are like, ever wondered what other clubs take pictures of? If the answer is yes then why not come along to the 4-Club Competition. Previously bi-annual and now on an annual basis, WCC enters into the 4-Club competition along with three other local clubs, Berwick, Eastern Suburbs and Maroondah. In the past we’ve done really well in these competitions and there is no reason to suspect that we won’t do well here again. We have images from Jason, Lenore, Vicki, Andy, Richard, Cookie, Stuart, Marie, Hai, Anthony, Dianne and myself.
Why not come along and see how they fair and enjoy supper with other camera club members. It is a great insight into how other clubs run and what they shoot.

Later in the morning we will head of to Hart’s Farm on Tucks Road, Shoreham for morning tea and some more photo opportunities on the farm which occupies 10 hectares with Manton’s Creek flowing through it.
