Members Annual 2016

Message from the President

This was our first year meeting in the Malvern Hill Uniting Church Hall in Croydon. It has proved to be a good venue for conducting a range of hands-on exercises and has also helped build good social interaction over tea and biscuits during our break.

I’d like to thank our hard working executive team for their efforts this year and also acknowledge all our members for making our club the bastion of camaraderie that it is.

I hope you enjoy this Annual and the range of images our members have produced this year. You can get more information on our club and its members at:

Club Meetings

When: 8pm to 10pm on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month between February and November (inclusive)

Where: Malvern Hill Uniting Church Hall,

Corner Malvern Av and Murray St, Croydon

Welcome to the second IWPS Members Annual, which I

hope will become a club tradition. This e-book displays

some of the delightful, powerful and creative images from

our members across a range of genres.

IWPS comprises a growing and passionate group of

photographers. The club’s aim is to continually develop our

members’ photographic skills in a friendly, supportive

environment based on the sharing of knowledge and ideas.

The club caters for all skill levels and our activities are

designed to challenge and extend all our members’ abilities.

2016 was a very successful year. During the year we:

• held 24 meetings, shared between learning and judged

sessions

• had eight outings to various locations around Sydney

• conducted a portfolio programme mentored by a photo

industry professional

• held our fourth annual weekend away, heading north to

Stockton to explore Newcastle and the sand dunes

• further developed our social media presence

• decisively won our annual inter-club challenge against

Cronulla Sharks

Competitions

IWPS uses two internal competitions to encourage

participation and recognise excellence within the club.

The annual Category Winners are decided by the total

number of competition points received by each member in

that category over the year.

The Top Shot of the Year is a separate competition night in

November where all images that had been awarded a Merit

during the year are eligible for entry. A qualified judge then

determines which image, in each category, they feel is the

Top Shot of the Year.
