The last outing on our calendar was for a City Walk. It was decided to hold the walk in the Docklands area which was a great decision. There were not a lot of people as there would have been in the middle of the City.

Despite a very wet and weather affected Friday, the weekend at the Grampians proved to be a great weekend. The new WhatsApp group created specifically for the weekend, offered lots of advice, support, info about wet roads, places to eat, places to go and shoot, and photo sharing. It proved to be an affective way to communicate to the whole group. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The “Make It Happen” grant submission to Hobsons Bay City Council was successful in funding the Williamstown Camera Club 60th anniversary celebrations.
Our third outing for the year was to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. It had been postponed from its original date due to the weather, but we had a beautiful day. Eleven members including one spouse enjoyed beautiful sunshine, meeting at the Queenscliff South Pier where we explored the area including the pier sheds. The view from there over to the Fort , the parks and across to the Queenscliff Harbour was great.
