Cliff Threadgold Presenting

The end of the year is rushing up on us. We have two more meetings this
year, and they should be crackers.

For the next meeting we have Cliff Threadgold presenting. Cliff, one of
the founding members of the Karori Camera Club, has quite a pedigree in
photography and should need no introductions.

After a number of years away from the Captial, he is now back here and
is going to show us what he has been up to.

This is an evening not to be missed.

Details are below

When: Wednesday 27th November, 19:30
Where: Karori Arts and Crafts Centre, 7 Beauchamp St, Karori

To help with numbers and catering, can you please indicate one way or
the other whether you will be likely to attend?

Cliff has been volunteering in Nepal and more recently in Tacloban,
Philippines where the recent typhoon struck. He is trying to raise some
money for Tacloban. So we have agreed to put out a donation box to help.

It is all happening! We should be feeling free about our form and hope
that the 40 images will function appropriately.

Details for the Hutt Battle are as follows:

When: Tuesday 12 November, 19:15 for 19:30
Where: The Hutt Valley Tramping Club Rooms,
15 Birch Street, Waterloo, Lower Hutt

Next Meeting

Well, Heuchan, freshly returned from the depths of Africa, has been cajoled into showing some of the images that he took. Knowing his eye and steady hand for a good photograph, I am sure that we will be in for a treat.

Hi All

This Wednesday, Heuchan is swanning it in the depths of Africa, Bill
will be on his way to the US, Hugh is saving himself for another meeting
on Thursday and I am trying to learn a thing or two.

So unless someone else is keen on doing the meeting this week, we will
be giving this week a miss. Now, if someone is keen, let me know
(021-535-835) and I will arrange to hand over the projector and discuss
getting a key to the Centre.
