Hi All,
Just a quick update for those who were not able to attend on Wednesday night 14th September, which was a combined SGM and Competition night. An excellent roll up and thank you for all those who attended.
Also, thanks again to Barbara Brown for doing the judging. She made it a very entertaining night and hope we can have her back again. Her comments from an artist’s perspective, were very insightful and I think provided a lot of creative food for thought.
Many wonderful images and congratulations to Di East and Clive Hammond for the images of the night in the Print and DPI categories respectively.
Our President Gerry Gibson had called for the Special General Meeting (with endorsement of the Committee and in accordance with the Constitution), to consider a name change for our Club. The night commenced with the SGM and after reading of the proposal and some constructive discussion, a vote was taken by Financial Members, for the proposed name change to:
Sunshine Coast Photography Club Inc., or
Sunshine Coast Photographic Club Inc.
Two alternative names were required for the submission for registration of the new name to the Office of Fair Trading.
Voting on the night was:
25 Votes in the Affirmative
3 Proxy Votes in the Affirmative
1 Vote No; and
1 Vote Abstain
The motion was subsequently carried.
The next stage will be to finalise the submission to the Office of Fair Trading for endorsement and registration of the new name. We will work on this as a priority, to ensure we have the approval before the end of year and report back as soon as we get confirmation or if there are any issues with the Office of Fair Trading.
As previously noted, we will not start using the new name until after the AGM, which will be scheduled for February 2023.
I have also included in the header to this note, the proposed new Club Logo. If you have any thoughts on how this could be improved, let me know, and we can discuss further through the remainder of this year.
Cheers
Bruce Atkinson
Secretary
