Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm Visit

Our first outing for 2023 saw 24 Members and families head to Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm in Shepherds Flat.

As most of the Members had not seen each other for a while, there was lots of chatting before heading into the Farm. Unfortunately the lavender was not quite in full bloom but that did not stop us wandering around the property as there was lots to see and photograph, from the old buildings, the gardens and even a tour of the old homestead for those interested. After lunch at the Farms La Trattoria eatery, it started to rain which saw the Members start heading for cover or home. A good day was had by all!

Upcoming

Workshop: Paper Bag Challenge

A fun activity where teams are presented with a mystery object to photograph as creatively as possible. Props, lighting, backgrounds, models etc are encouraged. Bring your camera gear, a laptop (if you have one) and any props you think might be handy.

The images will then be presented and critiqued with a winning image selected by all in attendance.

Judging: End of Year Awards & Dinner

Join us for a night of fun as we award our winners from the year. Awards are given for aggregate point winners and for the images of the year.

For the new members, we have spit roasted meats and salads brought into the Clubrooms. We have found that this works really well as it gives members a chance to chat prior to the EOY Awards presentations. You can bring along some wine/beer and some of the members bring a dessert to share.

Price for the meal is $18.00, please pay into our bank account by November 22nd, with your member number and name as reference: eg: 013Malbon
