To proceed with this we require a minimum number of 30 people to attend (partners and family welcome). Please email me if you are committed to attending and how many are coming with you (please note payment will be upfront once we confirm that this event will go ahead).
- Cost: $45.00 per head – no refunds (if we get close to numbers the price may go up!
- Date: Monday 5th July 2021
- Time: 6.30 – 10.30 pm

Please respond to this email with your commitment to attend. If we don’t get enough people we will have to resort to a back up plan. Could you put in the Subject heading: Xmas in July

Federation of Camera Clubs (FCC) ID Card
Hi all
In previous years the FCC has made a template available to
clubs to produce personal FCC identity cards for club
members. These were to identify the club photographers as
amateur, and not professional photographers. This helps to
avoid issues with council rangers or security personnel,
which can happen in places like Darling Harbour, around the
Sydney foreshore, and at some National Parks.
If you would like an FCC id card please let me know. We will only do one print run of these so let me know asap if you would like one.
Thanks

PHPC Exhibition/Portfolio Expression of Interest
Hi all
A number of years ago PHPC use to hold a club exhibition at Pennant Hills Library. I would like to see who is interested in doing this again.
We have two options:
- Option 1: Members interested enters at least one (1) photo (depending on the number of people interested) as per previous exhibitions (not limited)
- Option 2: Members that are interested in exhibiting a portfolio – a body of work that relates to each other eg 6 photos each (limited numbers of members approx 10 members) see example below – Elaine Holliday from the Hornsby Heights Camera Club Portfolio Exhibition they held earlier this year
This will require the following:
- Option 1: members will have to pick and mount their own photo(s) as per the rules of the exhibition
- Option 2: members interested in this options will commit to meeting monthly to discuss the when, where and how of the portfolio exhibition
Elaine’s Portfolio
Please respond to me via email telling me which option you are interested in being part of by Sunday 6th June 2021. This will enable the committee with a direction to move forward.
Any questions please email or phone me.
Kind regards
Nancy

Outing: Monday night 7th June 2021
Parramatta 4 – 10 pm
Hi everyone,
As I mentioned Monday night we will visit the Parramatta district for an outing. Even though there is construction going on we will use this as an opportunity to photography the changes happening as well as other areas of Parramatta. Please see the meeting information below (# = numbers on map attached)
Initial meet: 4:00 pm at Bankwest Stadium #3 (Opposite St Patrick’s Cathedral)
2nd Meeting place: 6.00pm at George St Gatehouse #10
Dinner @7.15 at Alex & Co 125 Church St Parramatta Directions: from Parramatta Heritage & Visitor Information Centre (#14) walk over the Lennox Bridge and it will be on your left.
Print this sheet off and bring it, and a map (attached), with you so you don’t get lost.
Getting There:
- Drive and park – you will be lucky to get a free car park, so some options are park near the Catholic School after school hours, or the shopping Centre car park (Westfield) or the parking lot just south of the Bankwest Stadium
- Catch a bus – from the city west along Victoria Rd; Bus from Parramatta Railway Station up Church St; Bus from Castle Hill down Windsor Rd and then Church St: Bus 600 from Hornsby to Parramatta (it goes around the world)

- Train – Disembark at Parramatta Station and navigate to Bankwest Stadium
You can get maps from the Parramatta Heritage & Visitors Information Centre near the north eastern end of the Lennox Bridge that crossed Parramatta River on Church St across the road from the Riverside Theatre.
If you were not at the last Monday’s meeting can you email me to confirm that you are coming for the outing and for dinner (we would like to book especially for catering purposes).
Hope to see you there. Email/phone me with any questions.
