President’s Column – April 2026

As I write this month’s President’s report, Andrea and I have just started a 3 week trip in Australia. We are spending time in Sydney, Darwin, and Adelaide. I hope to bring back a good mix of wildlife and landscape photos.

The club is wanting to prepare our set of photos for the Trenna Packer Salver interclub competition. Please do look through your photo collection and select some photos to submit. More details on the Trenna Packer are in the newsletter.

In May the club is going to host an online meeting aimed at newer members where we will discuss what the club is about and what we do. The aim is to ensure new members can get the best out of the club. While aimed at newer members, all members are welcome to attend. Our intent is to hold these session a couple of times per year.

Also in May we are going to send out to all members a survey. Your committee is keen to understand what you enjoy about the club, what you less enjoy and what else we could be doing to ensure the club is meeting your expectations. The survey will take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. More details will come out in the May newsletter.

With the ongoing issue of getting audio to work better for our online members, we think we have a solution. We can now directly connect the club room amplifier to the computer and audio from those online to the amplifier. We will need a settling in period but I do hope that it makes our meetings a better experience for all.

Lastly, welcome to our new member, Stephen Curtis.

My photos below are from Northland last year.
