Record number of Submissions for NZ 2018 Set Subject

Thank you to all the Members who have submitted images for the individual
Set Subject (Australian Nature) in the Northern Zone 2018 Competition which closes
on the 1st MARCH.

What a BUMPER CROP ! 67 x Individual Images were received (I had only 32 by Tuesday-evening)
We will keep our word and NOT CHARGE the $1/image entry fee to our Entrants.
Good luck to our Members…it will be good to bring the Set Subject Trophy Home.

Have a nice and relaxing week-end.

Douglas Vale Vineyard Exhibition – 20th January

We have been asked by Douglas Vale Vineyard to participate in their Festivities by exhibiting some of our Club’s
Photographs. John & Susie Smith, Paul Barron, John Upton, Frank Kolver, Linda Appleby, Colin Bennett and Chris Randall
exhibited some of their already framed/mounted/on canvas Photos.

No sale was made, although John Smith has someone very interested in his Goliath Heron Image. Here’s holding thumbs, John !
We were entertained by Australia Sing, some Ukulele Players and Krista – the Zumba Instructor and her Group.

The ‘Tasting Room’, just next to us was well frequented and as a result we had a lot of feet passing by and out of decency, I suppose,
a lot of people had a look at the images before they could, guilt-free, go through to the Tasting Room. We might have picked up at least 6-8
people interested in visiting the Club and maybe becoming members. That alone would make the whole day worth our while.

A special thank you to Colin for his Print-Stand-rig he took out to the Vineyard on Friday already, and to Chris who trekked out there to help him.

POTY & DIOTY Evening

We had a lovely evening, filled with laughter, jokes and good food in the company of friends and members of the Club and their spouses.
We have not gone home as late in a long, long time. Thank you to each and everyone who stayed until the very end. I appreciated that very much.

Anita Targett was the lucky person whose number got drawn in the Raffle for a Full Day Tuition by Will Eades. Lucky girl !

John Smith was crowned the undisputed Winner with his image selected as TOP OVERALL IMAGE for 2017 . What was that bang ? Just a beautiful image,John. Straight
into the Northern Zone Club Competition with that one…thank you, Sirree…
Linda Appleby won the PRINT Division with her entry : A well-protected Family. Gary Bretell (the PIOTY Judge last year, said : A definite winner for Northern
Zone Set Subject entry in 2018 – tell that ‘girl’…so ‘Linds…you are hereby informed that he thought it a cracker image, so straight into Northern Zone Set Subject
(Australian Nature) with that one.

Roy Killen lectured on which images to choose for a National or International Competition-entry. Very interesting.
