Paatsch Shield interclub challenge – 5 May 2024
Attached is the flyer for our upcoming yearly photographic competition between Wodonga Albury Photography Club and our own club. Last year we were just beaten in the points tally so this year we hope to do better and regain the trophy. For those who haven’t attended before, its a fun day out with like minded photographers and a great social outing. There will be a couple of set subjects which need to be captured on the day and later submitted. A lunch presentation will be arranged once the images are judged.
It would be great if you could let me know if you will be attending and also if you need transport – email: mandgblack@gmail.com
