2023 Convention
Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre
16-18 June
VAPS holds an annual Convention every year where members of different clubs come together to learn more about photography. There are presentations by guest speakers, workshops, and photographic excursions to participate in and of course interaction with members from other clubs. It is a great forum for exchanging ideas about the activities of other clubs.
With the tremendous support of the Colac Camera Club in 2023, the convention is organised by a VAPS Committee member, the Convention Director, who co-opts other committee members as required. In addition, a nominating VAPS affiliated club helps to host the event and their members assist in organising various aspects of the Convention. Contact the Convention Director
