Australia Day – Jan 26
This year’s Hanging Rock races on Australia Day (Jan 26) have been relocated to Kyneton due to damage to the track. The general consensus of members was that we should instead have an informal BBQ at Osborne House starting at around 6.00 pm. BYO food and drinks. We will have a BBQ on site. Bring along any images/projects that you have been working on to share with members. As it’s Australia Day, there will be fireworks from the Waterfront later in the evening, so bring along your gear to capture the event. Prints for the September Competitions are also due on this night. Projected images can be uploaded any time via the Competitions page.
Web Site Update
In case you did not notice we have done a bit of an update to the web page. I think it makes it
- easier to navigate
- looks a bit fresher
- encourages new members to contact us and join.
There might be a few bugs, there always is with this sort of thing. Let me know if you see something you think we should change.
At the moment the images on the front page are there just for display. We will sort out some system of changing them monthly to feature work from members. This could be monthly winners, new members work, feature one member a month or any ideas you have. If you have an idea of what you want on this page please let us know by filling in the email box below. If you have any ideas for the site also let us know.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
