SUMMARY:Cops N Rodders Car Show
DESCRIPTION: This car show is free admission and a great opportunity to go out and photograph old cars.  Last year there was well over 500 cars on display at the park.  We could meet up in the parking lot and walk around as a group or you can wonder on your own!  Not only are there old and new cars\, but they also have vendors\, food trucks and raffles.  We will be there at the parking lot at 9:00 am if you would like to meet up.  This is a major fundraiser for the Hamilton Police.  More details available on the website see link below. \n  \nThis event is held to support Special Olympics Ontario initiatives and all proceeds from this event go directly to Special Olympics.  \nIn 5 short years we have exceeded all of our goals that we set way back in 2015 to support Special Olympics Ontario. Those goals were: \n\n$10\,000 to Special Olympics Ontario (in 2018 we gave $10\,631.05 to Special Olympics Ontario).\nHave an attendance of 500 cars at the show (over 800+ vehicles attend the show in 2023 and we topped it off with a cheque to Special Olympics Ontario over $32\,218.00).\nWe had a 10 year commitment we made it! Come celebrate our 10th Anniversary’ with us this year!\n\nOur current goal is simply to continue to have fun with this show and raise as much as we can for Special Olympics Ontario!​

SUMMARY:St. Albans Church is an Architectural Treasure
DESCRIPTION:St. Albans Anglican Church is a quaint stone church located in the heart of Rockton\, Ontario.  It was built in 1869. Originally\, services were held in this building twice on Sundays and by 1949 were only held monthly. Services stopped in 1950. Since then\, it is only used for occasional concerts\, weddings\, funerals and similar celebrations. \nThis church has 3 stained glass windows featuring faith\, hope\, and charity.  We are hoping to have a model in a vintage wedding dress and veil included in this photo session.  (Keep in mind that she is NOT a professional model and will need some direction.) \nThere are NO WASHROOMS.  I suggest you go to the Tim Hortons at Peter’s Corners before you come into Rockton. \nThe church has a cemetery which has some interesting tombstones for those who like to shoot graveyard and creepy crawly photos. \nThis event is weather permitting. \nFor those interested in having lunch\, the Cookhouse Bistro is an excellent restaurant.  It is very small\, so if you are planning to go there after the shoot\, please make your own reservations.  Their phone number is 519-647-2012 (787 Old Highway 8). \nCost: $15 per person. Payment is made through e-Transfer. please use the following address treasurer@haldimandphotographyclub.com add  St. Albans to comment/note section \n[rtec-registration-form]

SUMMARY:Indigenous Photo Shoot
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Haldimand Photography Club has arranged to do a photo shoot with two Indigenous people this May.  This is a great chance to practice portrait work well as movement\, as there will be some dancing. \nBoth Stacey (F) and Lyndon (M) will be dressed in colourful regalia representing their culture. \nWe have booked this event for Monday May 26th\, 2025\, 6:30 PM at our usual meeting room at the Caledonia Fair Grounds. We will have lights\, and a backdrop setup\, so you will need a trigger to activate the lights. Please know your camera.  We will be using Godox lights\, so you need to make sure that your trigger can communicate with the light system \nWe need to know confirmed attendance for this event. If you say you are attending\, please be courteous enough to follow through. If the numbers justify it\, we will move to a bigger room\, but that involves a higher rental fee\, so we need a accurate member count.  Please note that we have set the number to 20\, however\, if we use our normal meeting room we can only accommodate a max of 12.  If we get more we will switch to a bigger room and that would allow us to have two setups so that we can split the group and allow everyone attending the shoot to have ample time to take photographs.  We will also rotate the groups so that you will get ample amount of time with each model.  Near the end of the shoot we will look at combining the models and rotate each photographer through so that you can take a group photo.  Current cost is set at $15.00\, which covers room and liability insurance costs.  If we have to switch to the bigger room cost will increase to $20.00. \nPlease use the link below to register for this shoot.  You can e-transfer your fees to:  treasurer@haldimandphotographyclub.com \n  \n[rtec-registration-form]

A framed print (this is our preference)\, or a digital photo\, which will be displayed on a loop on the TV in display room. The framed/canvass photo must have a wire across the back for secure hanging. If the photo is on Foam Core\, we can secure it to the wall using command strips.

You also have the option of selling your print\, just remember Edinburgh Square will take 30% commission of the selling price. If you don’t want to sell the framed photo you can offer to sell just the print\, but you need to indicate this (also applies to the digital photos). \nLet’s fill the room with all your great photos. \nThis exhibit is open to the public\, and we encourage members to promote this event to friends and family. \nPlease drop off your photos to Edinburgh Square between April 8th-11th2025 between 10AM-4PM. \nWe will be having a Spring Exhibit social event on Saturday April 12th\, from 2-4\, with non alcoholic beverages\, and light snacks provided by your club. \nAny questions contact Randy….Email Randy \n
