Some fantastic News!
The Grant that we applied for through the NSW Club Grants system has been approved by the Mulwala Water Ski Club.
The grant is for portable Studio lights for use by Camera Club members. The equipment will also be useful for the photographing night events such as presentation nights for any Water Skiing Championships that we are involved with. In the past these have been challenging to photograph. The lights will help improve the quality of the images we capture at such events.
A HUGE thank you to the Mulwala Water Ski Club for their support of the Camera Club.
