The last half of the meeting is dedicated to having a speaker come and make a presentation or discuss some aspects of their photography
The Monthly Management Meeting is normally held on the second Thursday of the month in the boardroom of Qualicum Foods. If any members are interested in attending, please contact the club president.

Have fun finding people, objects, animals, birds, boats or whatever else that shows action.
When you go to enter your images, you will see a change in the naming of one of the categories. We have replaced the word “Digital” with “Creative” and feel that this will be less confusing.

Our speaker this month is Ron Brandner a member of the Port Alberni photo club. The purpose of his talk is to discuss how the hobby of photography has enhanced both his physical and mental health. As a senior, health issues are becoming more and more prevalent and he is finding photography is becoming more of a medication than a hobby.
He has been making images for over 60 years and over that period has garnered a lot of useful information from a great number of sources that have helped him adjust his practice of photography to suit his changing needs.
He is grateful to those who have shared their wisdom with him and has compiled a list of the more important ideas. Hopefully there will be some that will be of benefit to Oceanside photographers.
We will be showing our slideshows from last month’s assignment, the favourites and the field trip.
