NEXT GENERAL MEETING:
Friday: 27 SEPTEMBER 2024.

********************
Our speaker for September will be
Laurie Wilson
Photographer and lecturer
Laurie's talk is titled “PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH MADE AUSTRALIA”
Laurie will show “iconic" photographs from Australian history, from 1845 to 2013. It includes a brief bio of the photographer, description of the technology, background of the creation of the photo, plus other images by the same photographer, along with other photographs from the same era. The selected photographs are really a starting point for his much more extensive presentation.
NEW ACTIVITY - ZOOM FITNESS
Several members of our Club have for some time been participating in an excellent exercise class run by Mike Adams from the North Shore Gym in Pymble. This includes a weekly Zoom class - that's right, you follow the 1-hour class in your own home, 7am each Wednesday. Other members are now invited to join the Zoom class, at a modest charge.
More details are in the August WRAP; if you are interested, talk to
