FORBES ROTARY IPOMOEA
Do you have a photograph that makes you think, ”Hey that’s not too bad”?
Why not enter your photo or photos in the first ever Rotary Club of Forbes Ipomoea’s July 5 amateur photography competition?
Rotary members recently visited the Forbes Preschool and director Amy Shine showed them around the preschool’s new therapy room where speech and language and occupational therapy sessions are conducted.
The photography competition has been arranged so that Rotarians can support this speech and language therapy focus at the Preschool, as early intervention is vital leading into kindergarten.

Anyone can enter their photos. They can be printed off on a home computer. Rotarians ask that photos not be framed, just mounted onto cardboard for easy display.
There are no size restrictions. No entry fee for photography entries.
The exhibition is on Saturday 5 July, and will be held in the Club Forbes Function Room.
Rotary Ipomoea members will accept entries right up to the morning of 5 July.
You can book you entry in by emailing or just bring them to the club between 9am and 11am.
Judging is from 12noon to 2pm. Rotarians have three independent judges for this event.
The five sections that people can enter in are varied giving lots of options for finding a section for your favourite photos. The sections are: Landscape, Portrait, Animals/Birds, Travel, Focus on Active Forbes, Farm Life/Machinery.
Rotarians really wanted to add the Focus on Active Forbes section because that way people when they are out and about in our town can take some action shots, maybe on the footy field or guarding the soccer goals or climbing the AMAZING sign or marching on ANZAC Day. This section really will be hard to judge! We are hoping for great variety.
The exhibition will be open at 2pm for public viewing of the exhibits and sponsorship has been achieved for first and second prize in each section.
The general public as well as photographers are invited to come along and view the sections from 2pm and be on hand for the presentation of awards at 5pm.
