The good news is that we have a plan to return to face to face meetings in November. Our October meeting will still be online and our judge will be Peta Ward.

When we return, there will be some rules that we need to follow for Hornsby Council to allow us to hire the hall.

Rule 1: Attendees must be double vaxed and will need to show a certificate of proof.

Rule 2: Everyone needs to sign in using the QR code. We will need everyone to come just a little early so that we can check these things.

Rule 3: Everyone needs to wear masks.

Rule 4: We need to wipe down a lot of stuff. We will need some people to volunteer to help us with that.

Rule 5: We can’t dilly dally when the meeting is over. (Actually, I’m not sure if that’s a council rule or not, I was told to tell people that we can’t dilly dally outside after the meeting.)

Please remember that these are Council rules and part of our condition of hire for November only. We need to follow them. Please let me know if you will be unable to attend as we may be able to set up a video link via Zoom.

Photo of the Year Competition

November is our annual Photo of the Year Competition. In this competition we re-enter images from the current year to see who will grab the top spot.

When submitting your images, please remember that they must be submitted in the same category again, there is no switching between categories. We have maintained our categories of Colour Prints, Mono Prints, Small Prints and Digitally Projected Images throughout the year so hopefully there should be no confusion.

The Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting will be held on 30th November at 7:30 at the Mount Colah Community Centre. There will be a presentation as well but the Christmas Party element will be postponed to an event later, in the new year. Please come to the AGM if you are able with the restrictions. It is your club and it is a good opportunity to hear what is planned.

I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
