Outing: Black Creek Pioneer Village

On Sunday December 20th, 3 members from the Beach Photo Club enjoyed the sight and sounds of Black Creek Pioneer Village. Decorate in the Victorian period, the village hosts visitors to experience a traditional Christmas as would be experienced in the mid 1800's. Many of the buildings and houses are dressed in festive garlands making for beautiful images. A great place to capture some images for your Christmas cards! Some members especially enjoy the wood burning oven's and stove's as this time of year they are very active, and dancing fires make for wonderful pictures. If you are planning to visit the village, unfortunately they are now closed for the season as of December 23rd, but will re-open in May 2010.

Happy Holidays

The Beach Photo Club executive team would like to extend warm wishes to all our club members and club alumni. May you all have a happy and safe holiday season with your family and friends.

Holiday Social - Thursday December 17

Holiday Social - Thursday December 17 - now staring at 7 pm – 10 pm

This year we will be holding a holiday social at the Beach Side Grill, to show our appreciation for the growing partnership that has formed between us.
The menu will be el la cart and members are responsible for their own meals and drinks.

We will be participating again in a fun and friendly gift exchange. There is no obligation to participate if you don't want to.

Gift Exchange Concept:
• small fun gift aprox value $10
• wrapped
• folks who participate will receive a ticket when they drop off their gift
• tickets will be drawn randomly and the winner gets to chose a gift from the table .... OR ..... may take a gift from a previous winner, who then gets to chose another gift from the table.

Time is Running Out - GTCCC Critique Session December 15

Time to start thinking about GTCCC selections. With so many amazing images that were submitted for our 1st competition, I would think that getting entries for this year’s GTCCC competition will be a breeze. The images that placed in our 1st competition just may be the next GTCCC 1st, 2nd or 3rd place winners. I have attached the rules.

To assist you in choosing your best images, we will hold a critique evening Tuesday December 15 at the church at 7:30pm. David sweeney and Natalia Shields will be on hand to discuss images. Group and solo critiques available.
