GOOD NEWS, news, NEWS, news……

I’m sure you are all delighted to hear that our Club has been nominated and is now a finalist in the 2026 Caloundra Community Awards – our member, Nikki Stewart, very kindly nominated our Club and we are thrilled to be amongst the seven finalists, with the winner of the Award to be announced next Thursday evening, 10th September. Thank you so much Nikki for nominating the Club!

TEWANTIN SHIELD DAY in Gympie is coming up on Saturday 12th September – it’s always a great day out with fun activities in the morning, a chance to catch up with friends from other clubs and then the judging of the competition in the afternoon, so a number of us usually attend. If you’ve never attended a judging before, it’s well worth coming along even if you can only make it for the afternoon. Arrive at 8.30 am for a 9 am start, bring along some cash as there is usually a sausage sizzle for lunch, there will also be a great raffle plus a $300 voucher from Camera House as the Lucky Door Prize!

In the morning, attendees will be split into two groups as a number of activities are on offer, so you will have a chance to participate in most things – some of the activities are photographing a blacksmith (Woodworks Museum) as he works, water refraction with Elayne Mitchelson, water drop photography, a beautiful 1973 red Corvette will be parked outside to photograph and there will be a speaker, Margaret Hamwood, talking about Infrared Photography. Judging of the competition in the afternoon usually starts around 2.00 pm.

Sounds like a great day out so come along and join in the fun – address is: 39 Saleyard Road, Araluen, Gympie Qld 4570. If you are going to come, please let me know ASAP (for catering purposes) either by email – abryan@bigpond.net.au – or text message: 0411 486 939. Thank you! Ann

Share Night – Weds 26th August – see you there!

Thinking about buying a new camera bag? Do you find yours just doesn’t seem to fit the bill? Come along on Wednesday evening and meet Adrian and Kylie from AMK Enterprises! At the PSQ Photography Convention in May, they were part of the Trade Show and offered to come along to our Club to show us their latest gear – not only do they sell camera bags and accessories, but also lots of other interesting items for travellers, whether you do road trips in Australia with your caravan or in your car, or travel overseas to all the other exciting places in the world. They are sure to have something that you either want or need!! We will also hear from some of our members who have recently scored a ‘9’ in our monthly competitions and Barry will be bringing along something to not only entertain us but also to inspire us on our photographic journey! See you all there!
