Extra Time for entries for Monday Nights Comp
There has been some confusion over when the next competition is to occur with conflicting information in two versions of the club calendar, the glitch appears to have occurred when one of the calendars has not synced with the other in the my photo club website, 2022 calendar / electronic calendar.
It has therefore been decided to allow an extra day for entries – i.e. the competition will be closed on this Sunday night instead of Saturday night.
The competition will go ahead next Monday the 15th of August which is the usual competition time each month, please also note that the 15th of August is also boldly presented on the home page of the web site.

Replacement Ink Cartridges
For those with their own printer.
I have just ordered a full set of genuine replacement cartridges for my Epson P 800 (9 cartridges) from Borge’s Imaging in Melbourne, they are $183.15 cheaper than Epson direct and $88.60 cheaper than Kayell.
There is a $16.00 delivery charge but still much cheaper than any other I have found, if your looking for replacement cartridges for any printer they are worth a try.
