WE NEED YOUR PROFILE
The PROFILES section of this web site is set up to help members get to know one another. The club membership continues to grow each month so it is handy to be able to put a face to a name and have some idea of the photographic interests of other club members. All you need to do is check the Profiles section for some examples and then email Roy Killen your details.
Please note: To protect the privacy of members, the email addresses on the Profiles pages are set up as your "club email address" in the form membername@belmont16footers-photoclub.com.au and any mail sent from this web site (or by anyone else using your club address) is automatically forwarded to your nominated email address. This is set up for you; you don't have to do any setting up or make any modifications to your existing email system. Your club email will automatically have an antispam filter and an antivirus filter applied to it.
IMAGES FOR DISPLAY IN MAIN CLUB
The Belmont 16 ft Sailing Club Board recently agreed that we could display images on some of the TV screens throughout the club. The display will consist of a "slide show" of 25 images, with new images being used every three months. The Committee asked two of its members to select the first group of 25 images from the colour and monochrome images that were submitted for Round 1 of the Digital Portfolio competition. The following Club members have images in that selection: Gwyneth Davies, Alex Hunter, Barbara Hunter, Jill Helps, Anne Killen, Roy Killen, Diane Schofield and Chris Prior. We hope to see the display in the Skiffy club in the very near future.
If you would like some of your images considered for selection for the next group of 25 please prepare them in the same format as that required for Round 2 of the Digital Portfolio and submit them to Roy Killen who will pass them on to the selectors.
NEWCASTLE LIBRARY EXHIBITIONS
If you would like to receive invitations to launches of art/photography exhibitions and other events at the Newcastle Regional Library all you need to do is email your details to library@ncc.nsw.gov.au and indicate whether you would like to be invited to "All Events" or just "Exhibition Launches".
