Hi all, I have moved from the Uk to Wagga Wagga and I am looking for a local club. I have looked on the Net and asked at the local Camera House but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone know of a club around the western suburbs of Victoria, specifically Melton?
Google isn't giving me much love, though this list may be of interest to people browsing through here.

Toowoomba Photographic Society

The Toowoomba Photographic Society Inc. meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.15pm in DeMolay House 90 Margaret Street, opposite Queen’s Park.
There is also a Digital Group meeting on the fourth Friday of each month at 7.30pm in
DeMolay House 90 Margaret Street, opposite Queen’s Park.
All are welcome, whether beginners, experienced photographers or non-photographers. There is an entry fee of $2.00 per person. At the end of the meeting all present are invited to supper with a chance to discuss problems with others.
The club covers a wide range of formats and subjects. You don’t need to own the latest digital single lens reflex camera to be a member.
What is important is the end result, not the equipment used.

Competitions are held most months for black & white prints, colour prints and projected images (Digital and colour slides).
Work may be produced by the digital or analogue means either by the entrant or a commercial laboratory. This is judged by experienced photographers who provide helpful feedback and comments to the entrants.
For most meetings we have a guest speaker or one of our own members who gives a talk about some aspect of photography. Sometimes we have a practical night, such as a portrait workshop or a demonstration of a photographic technique.
As well as monthly meetings, outings are held through the year and members have the opportunity to attend photo conventions involving camera club members from all over Queensland.
A newsletter is published each month on this site and is available at the meetings and at Owen Camera House, Cyril’s Camera Centre and PhotoPro in Toowoomba.

I am a member of the Gold Coast Photographic Society - meetings involve a competition night and a demonstrative night on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, plus a "Digital" night which focuses on the post-processing techniques of mainly Lightroom and Photoshop. There is also a monthly outing and other more "unofficial" events. Its a large club with a lot of good shooters.

I am looking for a camera club in the Nothern Sub's of Wollongong or even the Sutherland Shire. However, I have found 1 or 2 clubs in the area. Shame that the clubs have phone numbers that are disconnected and mobiles that numbers now belong to other people. BTW, are there any people out there in the Illawarra or Shire, that are as nutty as me that go and chase storms? That is pretty much the whole subject of my photography.

You will find the Shire clubs on this page, they are both at Cronulla
http://www.photographynsw.org.au/pages/club_finder.php

and the Wollongong clubs on this page listed under Warilla and Wollongong

PM me if you have any difficulties with contact as I have judged competitions for all four clubs for many years and have alternate contact details to those advertised.

A great evening @ Tea Tee Gully Camera Club. I took a few prints along and scored a well.
The judge scored between 3 and 10 on the night, a lot scored 4,5,6.
I managed a couple of 8's there was one 10 and three 9's on the night. I was very happy with that.

It took a a bit over an hour for each image to be displayed, commented on and scored. (Around 100+ photo's)
I felt I would have scored differently on about 20-25% of the photo's, the judge's take on some was quite different to how I saw things.
His very quick CC comments were good and sort of explained why he scored as he did.
That was a good learning experience for me.

The skill level varied a lot. A few very stunning images, a lot of good one, and quite a few others that were quite average.
So I guess the Club has everything from beginners to very experienced 'togs.

Met up with a long lost friend from my teens! That was good.

It was very friendly and they have a good program of activities. I'll be back!

Good to hear you enjoyed yourself Kym, and are going back too.
Who was the judge BTW? It sounds like they scored fairly evenly for the night - and like you said, they can be quite helpful with their comments.

Mezz, tell her to get in contact with the East Gippsland Photographic Society.

It may or may not be her cup of tea, I have never had anything to do with them but I have heard widely conflicting views on their "club".

Very few Brisbane clubs are close to Bairnsdale, as a matter of fact I can't think of any
