Friday fun to start the new year

2nd January, 2015By Cathy Buchanan filed in Cool Stuff

It's thistle time. Check out the local empty blocks and paddocks for loads of thistles full of pollen and bees. Kororoit Creek Road has a stack of them near Grieve Parade. Guaranteed bees, bees and more bees. If you're like me and want to pinch a few to take home, use secatuers and some really thick gloves as they have some mean barbs on them.

What about a new start for the new year? Why not a 365 project? A photo a day for the rest of the year.

Workshop: Paper Bag Challenge

A fun activity where teams are presented with a mystery object to photograph as creatively as possible. Props, lighting, backgrounds, models etc are encouraged. Bring your camera gear, a laptop (if you have one) and any props you think might be handy.

The images will then be presented and critiqued with a winning image selected by all in attendance.

Judging: End of Year Awards & Dinner

Join us for a night of fun as we award our winners from the year. Awards are given for aggregate point winners and for the images of the year.

For the new members, we have spit roasted meats and salads brought into the Clubrooms. We have found that this works really well as it gives members a chance to chat prior to the EOY Awards presentations. You can bring along some wine/beer and some of the members bring a dessert to share.

Price for the meal is $18.00, please pay into our bank account by November 22nd, with your member number and name as reference: eg: 013Malbon
