Best of the Bay Convention
Dear Members,
At our delayed committee meeting last night (minutes to follow in the next couple of days) we had lots of discussion about the “Best of the Bay” PSQ convention that our club is hosting next year.
It is a topic of discussion for our general meeting on Tuesday.
Obviously for our little club this is going to be a huge effort but I know that we can deliver.There are a number of ways to provide support depending on your available time and your skills.
These are the activities that we have identified so far in the lead up so please let me know if you are able to help and in what way.
- Organising the Conference Bags,
- Media co-ordinationLogistics (organising transport etc to special events)
- Co-ordinating workshops and Speakers
- Creation of Programme for printing.
- Coordination of bookings.
As time goes on there will of course be other roles to be filled including at the actual conference.
I am particularly keen to have one of the workshops focussed on Mobile Phone Photography so if you know a friendly expert please let me know.
Also if there are any particular workshop ideas you would like to see please speak up 😃
Kind regardsCarol

Australia Cup Competition
Hi Members, I have again extended the Australia Cup competition on website as we are still looking for more member’s images to represent HBPC this year.
Theme is: THIS IS AUSTRALIA and entries are now closing this Sunday 7/4/24. “This is Australia” was the theme from our February competition, so would be great to see more of your images to put our best work forward. Member’s may submit 3 images online which will then be judged by a 3 person panel. With current club membership numbers, HBPC can then include a maximum of 2 images per person for Australia Cup. Best of luck, look forward to more beautiful images!
Definition for THIS IS AUSTRALIA: Any image that shows a flavour of life in Australia including landscapes, people, events and places including architecture, birds and animals. Images may be taken in any of Australia’s territories. Entries must be a single image as captured by the camera; no composites allowed.
All entered Images & individual awards are eligible to count as national acceptances towards APS Honours LAPS, AAPS.

Easter Photo OPs
I just got home from a walk and found that there is a sailing regatta on this weekend. It is the Scarness Boat Club area. Kids sail close to the shore (for those like me without zoom lenses) and adults are about 1km out, (for those with big zoom lenses). Also noticed some Brilliant Mushrooms/Toadstools on a vacant block across from the Newly renovated Holiday Park. I plan to go back later in the day in the that, hope no one has knocked them over. Does any one else know of anything?
