Bunnings Fundraiser Report

Would like to report our success at the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Fundraising today. 

Firstly, thank you to all who volunteered. Your selflessness and support is greatly appreciated.

Minus the $200 float and $772.60 for the initial purchase of goods/sundries required, TPS profited $1104.90 today.

Due to an error on my behalf, we still have 7 packets of sausages, which will be frozen and used soon, in a thank you BBQ to thank all for the good deeds we have done as a club. Stay tuned.

National Digital Portrait Exhibition/Competition 2019

Members: FYI

From Colin Woods.

I am writing to you so that you may inform your members of a national photography competition they may be interested in.  The National Digital Portrait Exhibition 2019 is a photography competition circuit with five judging panels.   This means your entries go into five separate competitions for the one entry fee of $34.   This competition is now open for entries and closes on March 31st.

 

The exhibition is conducted in accordance with the recommendations and approval of the Australian Photographic Society (APS) – Approval number 2019/9, with 60 APS medals, ribbons and recognition towards honours available to entrants.     This competition is informally titled “Portraits for Parkinson’s”, as 25% of your entry fee will be donated to aid Parkinson’s Disease support groups in your state.

 

For full details please go to https://natportrait.myphotoclub.com.au/

 

Please pass this message on to all of your photographing colleagues!

 

Kind regards

Colin Woods
