“Geelong – Then and Now” Exhibition
As part of the National Trust Heritage Festival 2011, Corio Bay Camera Club is currently holding an exhibition called “Geelong – Then and Now”. The exhibition features old photographs of the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region, rephotographed as they are today, allowing viewers to compare what has changed, and what remains the same. To date the exhibition has generated a very positive response. The exhibition continues until April 20 and is located at its clubrooms at Osborne House, Swinburne Street North Geelong. In addition to the CBCC exhibition, there is also a comprehensive exhibition of Antarctic memorabilia, including the art of Neil Roberts, model steam engines built by the Geelong Society of Model and Experimental Engineers, and memorabilia from the National Servicemen’s Association.

Geelong Seniors Festival Exhibition
CBCC members preparing the Exhibition
Part of the Seniors Festival Exhibition at Osborne House
The Geelong Seniors Festival Exhibition was held in the last week in October in conjunction with other groups that use at Osborne House. There was a steady trickle of people through the show, particularly towards and over the weekend. This was the first time CBCC have exhibited at Osborne House.
Many members gave generously of their time to prepare and staff the show. To have an exhibition run for a whole week was a big undertaking and we would not have been able to do it without this commitment. CBCC has a great space at Osborne House to stage these exhibitions and we hope to stage many more.

Success at Interclub with Colac CC
Colac Camera Club hosted Corio Bay Camera Club on Saturday 14th August for our annual Interclub competition. Images were judged by Duane Eaks from Ivanhoe Photographic Society.
Individual awards were presented in four sections; Small Prints – Open, Large Prints – Open, Projected Images – Open and Projected Images – Set Subject (Action). Perpetual trophies were awarded for overall club aggregate points in Prints and Projected Images.
It was a very successful evening for Corio Bay with our members taking three of the four individual awards as well as the two aggregate awards. Corio Bay will host next Year’s competition and we are hoping that the recently formed Bellarine Camera Club will be able to join us and make it a three way competition.
