Northern NSW Zone of Photographic Societies Convention 18th — 20th May 2018 — Laurieton United Services Club (LUSC)

The Hastings Photography Group is the host for this year’s Convention.

I recommend this year’s unique convention which has been very well planned by our own HPG Northern Zone sub-committee.  There will be a variety of eminent speakers and presenters and an opportunity for members to handle the latest cameras and lenses, to learn portraiture skills in a fully equipped studio with models and to attend other workshops to learn photography skills under the guidance of professional photographers. Competition entries from all clubs will be displayed at the Convention.

Photography Competition winners will be presented with trophies and awards at the formal dinner and for the first time I would like to see winners actually receive their awards in person., especially if they are HPG members, and don’t forget to book a dinner place for your partner to help make it a fun night.

Please get in early and register for the Conference by Registering on the new Northern Zone Website specially introduced by the HPG. I would love to see you there and showing what a great club we have.To find out more and to register for the Conference please click on the following link:
