FCC Interclub
The 2014 FCC Interclub will be held at Mosman RSL Mosman RSL, 719 Military Road, Mosman this Sunday, October 26 from 10 am. It would be really terrific if as many of our members as possible come along on the day to 'hopefully' cheer for our winners. The FCC selectors have chosen 7 images from our members to be exhibited on the day. These images rank in the top 10% of images entered from NSW clubs, so well done to those members.
The programme for the FCC Interclub can be found under our Notices tab.

Please check expiry dates on all donations to ensure your donation will still be fresh into 2015. The maximum value of the item should be $10.00.
We will start to collect donations at our next meeting, tickets will be on sale at our Images of the Year in December.

Portfolios
Having worked tirelessly all year our small band of members who elected to create a portfolio for 2014 are now in the home stretch and are wishing to show you the results of their hard work.
All the portfolios will be on display for you to see on November 24th, following the AGM. We are delighted to announce that Susan Buchanan will be coming along on the night to critique all the portfolios. Susan is a driving force in camera clubs to promote member portfolios and the many benefits that participants derive from participating.
It is hoped that you will all come along to show your support and encouragement for the work of your fellow members.
