A BIG Thank you
Helen Debnam is so deserving of a huge pat on the back for arranging our fun 'Shoot and Move' night. The work involved in collecting the props, setting them up and the organising of the models for the night was a monumental task.
From all of us who were there on the night we truly appreciate your efforts. To those who did not make it along, you missed out on a load of fun and some very, very yummy freshly baked scones. Thank you.

Australia Cup 2021
The Australian Cup is an annual digital competition open to all Australian camera clubs and run by APS. Each club is invited to submit 20 images into one section - OPEN.
We will not be calling for entries from you though. Our clever web master will be compiling a file of all CCG images that were entered from June 2020 until April 2021 which received a score of 7, 8 or 9. Our selection panel will then determine which images will represent us this year. The selection panel will meet in the next few weeks to make their decisions and you will be advised soon after of which images have been chosen.
Last year we came 13th, so we will be hoping to make the top 10 in 2021.
