END OF YEAR COMPETITION POINTSCORES
Hi All,
As we are approaching the end of year and of course the annual awards night on the 10th December 2022, it is customary to hide the point-scores on MPC in order to generate some the suspense for the big night, with 2 remaining competitions still to be judged.
As of 7th November 2022 (this Friday) the point scoring system will be turned off. If you want to check your progressive scores to date, you will have until midnight on the 7th to review.
Happy Photography

25th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION – ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Hi All,
As you are aware, we are planning the 25th Anniversary of the Club’s foundation on the 13th November 2022, at the Caloundra Power Boat Club, commencing at 11:30am.
The Committee and a sub Committee comprising of Annette Scott, Ty Fox, Colleen and Ken Brooks, Rae Bussie, Denise Organ and Jeff Heck have been busy planning the event with lots of exciting things on the agenda for the day.
We are also proposing to develop some slide shows from images submitted by members for any events or outings that the Club has participated in over the years. It is hoped that we can showcase the many members that have participated in our club.
To this end, we request that if anyone has images that they would like to share for the slide show, if you can post them on MPC. We have set up a competition style site on MPC which is titled “25th Anniversary”. This will not be an actual competition but a place which we all know, from where the images can then be down loaded for the side show. A maximum of 5 entries are available from each member and it will close on the 6th of November. As an added interest item, could we all identify where the images were taken and the date as the title.
We will also be using images from the Momento book as a separate slide show.
In addition we will be setting up the Club’s print trestles on the day, so if everyone is able to share one or two of their favourite print images, that will be great. We will ask for these prior to the day, so that they can be set up before everyone arrives.
We will be in touch with further updates as they become available.
Cheers
Bruce Atkinson

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING UPDATE
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

Stanthorpe Trip
Thursday 27th to Monday 31st October, (stay longer or shorter if you wish).
If you’re joining us for this exciting long weekend away at Stanthorpe, you need to book your motel room or caravan/tent site as soon as possible. Accommodation is at the Top of the Town Tourist Park, phone 07 4681 4888. Let them know you’re with CCG and talk to Catrina if you have any issues. Please email Ann at abryan@bigpond.net.au once you’ve made your booking.
So far, the following people have their names down: Ann & David, Ralph & Barb, Ken & Colleen, John & Denise, Alison, Di & Geoff.
It would be great to have a few more people coming along as there is a lot to do in the Stanthorpe area and Ann has some fun events planned. Ralph is going to contact Stanthorpe Camera Club and see if we can get together with them while we are there.
