TY AND KATHY’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
Share night is next Wednesday (24th July) and our very special presenter will be our own Ty Fox, reporting on his and Kathy’s recent escapades.
This is of course unlikely to be the run of the mill “slides from our holiday” sort of night, and if you have a hankering to discover just how much of an adventure travelling in India can be, followed by a relaxing cruise home, you really should not miss it!

President’s Trophy Subject 2024 – ‘CONNECTION’
Our end of year Annual Awards include a President’s Trophy – the subject is chosen by the current President, so I’m the lucky one who chooses the subject for this year! My chosen subject for 2024 is ‘CONNECTION’.
A “connection” can be a relationship in which a person, animal or thing is linked or associated with someone, some others or something else. For instance, connection could be when two or more people interact with each other and each person feels valued, seen and heard. We also see animals, birds and insects connecting with each other and the things around them (see photo above!). Or a connection could be as simple as an electrical plug being pushed into a socket! When I view your image I want to see that “connection” immediately!
Members can enter a maximum of two prints, colour or mono, same size as for all our monthly competitions, with digital copies to be uploaded to our competition site as usual. Closing date is Wednesday 6th November 2024, so you’ve got plenty of time to think about your entries!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!
If you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps travelling around in Europe) you might have missed the previous advice that “Christmas in July” is in August this year.
This might be absolutely your last chance to Celebrate Christmas before December so don’t miss out!

AV Presentation of BP Dam trip
A huge thank you to Barry Beckham for producing a wonderful AV presentation of our trip to Bjelke Petersen Dam. Those members who were at Share Night last night thoroughly enjoyed all the images, with plenty of laughs along the way. You can download the presentation yourself using this link – it’s an Mp4 video, so no virus risk whatsoever and it will play on Mac and PC’s – https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/wnohu0kjot18p7d/Bjelke_Pettersen_Dam.mp4/file

If you want to have some fun like this group of crazy members on a recent trip away, then come along on Wednesday evening (26th) to enjoy our Share Night from 7 pm. We will see the AV presentation of our trip away to Bjelke Petersen Dam, learn about Monitor Calibration, find out more about Street Photography (our upcoming Set Subject) and hear all about one of our members in a One on One session. We will also be discussing the possible addition of another Grade for next year’s competition and we would like to discuss our fee structure with everyone, so come along and have your say too! Look forward to seeing you all there!

We are off to Brisbane!
After a great weekend out at Bjelke Petersen Dam (slideshow of all the fun and games out there to come at our next Share Night!), we are now off to South Brisbane on Saturday – I think there will be about 12 of us meeting at the Big Wheel at Southbank around 10 am on Saturday morning – if anyone didn’t put their name down for this trip and would like to come, just send me a message on 0411 486 939, so we know to expect you! For those going on the train, just confirming it leaves Nambour at 7.38 am, Landsborough at 8.06 am, getting into Roma Street around 9.30 am; we will then get the train over to South Brisbane to meet at the Big Wheel, ready for some photography. Lunch is booked at The Charming Squire for everyone, followed by visits to the two exhibitions at the State Library. Train times home from Roma Street are 4 pm or 5 pm. Looking forward to it!
Our next Club night is next Wednesday, 12th June – competition night when the Set Subject is Nature – see you there!
