Following an invitation to YCC members. If you are interested please let John C know NOW so we can car pool and advise YRPS how many will attend.

Yarra Ranges Club would like to invite your members to a workshop featuring Epson printers

The Yarra Ranges Photography Society has arranged for Jonathon Dodd, sales engineer from Epson to conduct a printing workshop at our club rooms on Thursday 5th March at 7.15pm

The Doncaster club  generously provided the contact at Epson and I am told that the workshop is quite in depth.

Sorry for the short notice, but when making the initial contact , there was a window of opportunity so we jumped at it.

If you could let me know if anyone is interested, that would be great – and would assist with catering

The venue address is:

Coldstream Community Centre.

Kelso Road, Coldstream

Kimberley Photography Adventures are creative adventures on a small station outside of Wyndham in the East Kimberley. They only conduct two photography adventures per year and have a maximum of 10 people. It is station based so the guests maximise their photography time.

This is the second season and last year went fabulously well.

First Meeting 2015

To those whom I have not seen this New Year and all prospective new members, I hope you enjoyed the festive season and are all fired up for the new calendar.

 

The first meeting of the camera club for 2015 will be this Wednesday, Feb.11th.at 7.00pm in the Yea RSL hall.

This is an important meeting because it forms the base for the new year.

1. We will review the voting rules for Capture an Idea. Remember FEb’s photograph is GREEN and should be brought on the night. ( If we have new members who wish to enter the competition but don’t have their photo on the night and will make a GREEN photo, then voting will be deferred to the March meeting.)
2. We will run through the calendar of events.
3. We will arrange our outing to the Toolangi State forest this Sunday Feb15th.
4. We will organise our presentation of a cheque to the Yea Memorial Hospital.
5. We will outline our idea for 2015 Competition and Exhibition and assess the level of interest and practical support.
6. Bring your camera and gear – we will team up for taking photos around the town.
