It was a calm, clear and mild night that attracted a large number of members to Altona Beach for our light painting activity. I got to the beach around 7.15pm which I thought was early and walked to our usual spot only to find a huge line of tripods with hardly a spot left.

Our second planned weekend away for 2023 was to Wilson's Promontory, where 18 Members and families endured unfavourable weather conditions. Our vice-president Karen Malbon had scheduled some great events for the weekend but unfortunately some of them either failed or had to be abandoned. This event was planned prior to The Covid-19 Pandemic and the numerous lockdowns but we finally got it on the calendar.
