Night Shoot

Aug 1, 2010   //   by Jack   //   Member News  //  No Comments

Members took advantage of our great location on Thursday 29/7 for a night shoot. The weather was mild, there was no wind and there were some great reflections from ships in the bay. After an hour or so of shooting it was great to be able to step inside for a coffee.

Corio Bay Camera Club Relocates

May 28, 2010   //   by Jack   //   Member News  //  No Comments

Corio Bay Camera Club has relocated to new rooms at Osborne House, Swinburne Street, North Geelong. Current meeting times remain the same, ie; second, fourth and fifth Thursdays in the Month. Osborne House was used as offices of the former Shire of Corio. It is located in a garden setting with excellent car parking facilities and (appropriately) sweeping views across Corio Bay

See the map for where to find us.

For the first time in the Club’s fifty five year history, we have a venue that will be for our exclusive use, which means that we can run a more varied and expanded program.
