Weekly MCC News #39 – 17-Oct-2021

Competition Committee Vacancy

The competition committee is now recruiting some new members for 2022.  We are looking for regular print and PDI competitors or members with intermediate and above experience in photography who would like to help run the monthly competitions. Anyone with any kind of competition or IT experience is particularly invited to express interest but this is not essential. 

Joining a Committee at MCC is a fantastic way to contribute to the Club and network with other members.

To express your interest in joining the Committee or ask any questions, contact Lesley Bretherton: lesley.bretherton@melbournecameraclub.org.au
