Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas everyone.

2021 is nearly over and 22 is on the way, our club is going to concentrate on education more in 22.

We will continue to have a monthly event where we go somewhere photographing something, because that’s what we do!!!

We will also have bi-monthly workshops concentrating on specific subjects, out and about with some of our senior members (senior in experience) leading the workshops (spreading the load).

If anyone has their thinking hats on and has an idea or two for next year; let any of our committee know and we can then introduce those great ideas into our activities, be they workshops, share nights, trips away  or what ever.

On behalf our our committee I wish everyone a happy and safe break at this time.
Kind Regards

Gerry Gibson

Time for a Break

It’s time for most of us to take a few deep breaths and catch a bit of a break before it all starts again.

Planning for next year is mostly complete but there are still a few little gaps in our programme and we know a few bigger gaps will be appearing in our management team. We are concerned that filling these will quite possibly be made more challenging as we all start moving about once again post the Covid lockdown era.

Therefore you can expect a few more messages like this one over the coming weeks, asking you to give some thought as to how much help you can provide in the coming year even if it’s just covering periodically for someone’s absence . Rest by all means, but please don’t hide!

In the meantime, if you feel so inclined, we know of a couple of major competitions closing in late January to keep you busy until we meet again:

Make sense of almost anything!

If you have no clear direction regarding Caloundra Camera Group Competitions and Meetings for 2022, we have a deal for you!

Log in to our website, click on the “INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS” button and download our Members Handbook for 2022.

In that document you will find our Calendar for the coming year, our Set Subjects, a Members Directory and of course the Rules and Regulations as they apply to next year’s competition. As usual you can download all those things as separate documents if you wish.

As always if you find an error or have any questions regarding anything in those documents, your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you to all who have entered images in the last year’s competitions, have been to share nights, attended events and supported our group in any way!

Our awards night is always the culmination of our year’s activities and it’s time to offer our congratulations to all of our winners. A complete catalogue of all competition winners and annual awards recipients is now available for view and can be found AT THIS LINK.

Remember when phone books were a thing?

Web rules internationally are confusing to say the least when it comes to privacy, and wise web hosts tend to err on the side of caution.

That in a nutshell is why we haven’t been able to publish an online members directory with actual contacts in it.

This year we’ve created a simple telephone list which will be distributed with the Member’s Handbook. It will contain members names and one telephone number and will be distributed in PDF form to member only.

If you have an objection to others having access to your number or wish to provide an alternative contact number, please get back to me (my email address is in the mail you will have received) by the end of this week Friday 10th December, so that we can work towards publication shortly thereafter.

Thanks, Peter.
