WORKSHOP – 14^TH NOVEMBER: YOU BE THE JUDGE

This is a hands-on opportunity for members to engage with, study and judge a range of high quality colour and monochrome images. Teams will make decisions about a series of images before the big reveal. Which team will reign supreme? Of course, the deeds to a sheep station are up for the taking!

WORKSHOP – 21^ST NOVEMBER: IT’S A KNOCKOUT

What a great way to end the 2023 season with Graeme Wright managing the decision-making process. No doubt Graeme has another sheep station up for grabs.

What you need to do: Bring two (2) images in on a thumb or USB drive. Same dimensions, file size as we always use. Give these to Petro on the night. If you can’t make it on the night and wish to participate you can email images to: secretary.maitlandcamerclub@gmail.com

Images will be displayed in sets of 2 with members choosing their favourite image from the two displayed. The image with the most votes advances to the next round until there is but one winner!

As many members are aware Maitland Camera Club have been in the process of changing banks. This change, to the Commonwealth Bank – Cessnock Branch, will make it easier for the treasurer and other committee members to undertake their duties.

All members will need to change the direct payment details saved in their online banking systems to the new account.

The new account details are:

BSB: 062-805

Account number: 10484948

Thank you for your support with this issue.
