Changes to Entry Order

Please note a change in order of section entries, the digitals will now show before the prints. This will hopefully prevent incorrect entries of digitals into the prints sections.

Volunteers

We are always looking for members to volunteer to assist with the general running of the society. Some of these will significantly lighten the load for your committee members which will then allow them to concentrate more on member training, up-skilling and other opportunities to benefit the overall running of the society.
Some areas which we are particularly looking for are:

  • Member Run Skills Nights
  • Field Day / Outings Co-ordinator
  • Community Engagement Co-ordinator
  • Social Media Co-ordinator
  • Hall night setup
  • Visual Media Setup (Laptop, projector etc)

If you would like to nominate yourself, please fill in this form to express your interest:
