NEWSLETTER, February 2024
Greetings all and welcome to the first Newsletter for 2024. I hope you all had a great break, and that you’re all looking forward to a fabulous 2024.
The first Friday Snappers for the year will be held on Friday 2 February, 5 to 7pm at Lions Park, Burrum Heads near the boat ramp for boating, sunset and dusk shots. Theme TBA. Thanks Michele for coordinating.
No doubt you will have seen my email re the cancellation of the Expo, I’m very disappointed, but I don’t think the time is right at the moment. Maybe one day we can resurrect it.
If you haven’t completed the club survey as yet, could you please do so before the closing date, which is Monday 5 January. The Committee is very interested in getting EVERYONE’S opinions and thoughts about club activities. Here’s the link again – please only use the link if you haven’t already completed the survey : Link: HBPC Members January 2024 Survey
And don’t forget, if you haven’t registered on the new web page yet, our old one will be mothballed very soon, so you’ll miss out on all correspondence etc, and you won’t be able to enter competitions.
On Saturday 24 February, Doug Holloway will present a workshop for “newbies” or those who want to get a refresher on how to use their camera. All welcome- bring your laptops-more info to follow.

Through Our Eyes – Photography Exhibition
Hi Everyone,
In September last year all members were invited to participate in a Photography Project. Eleven members took up the challenge and an exhibition of our work opens on 2nd February and closes on the 3rd of March. The opening by our own Michel Scutts is on Saturday Feb 3 between 11am and 1pm with a lemonade after at the Criterion Hotel. The attached flyer has the information but it will be held at Gatakers Art Space in the POP UP Gallery at the front on Kent Street. It will be a great advertisement for our club and the variety of approaches the members have adopted to express themselves. You are all invited so hope you are able to drop in for the opening or any time that suits and please leave an encouraging comment in the comments book.
Thank-you
