A little piece of history of our club.

A conference was proposed to be held on the 26th and 27th September 1952. A constitution (modified 1908) was to be put to the conference.
Victorian clubs were each invited to send two delegates to the conference to form the Victorian Federation of Camera Clubs. The conference was held at the M.C.C., 123 Little Collins Street, Melbourne. 27 delegates came from 12 clubs. A new name, viz. the Victorian Association of Photographic Societies, was adopted. The first executive committee was elected, with Wilf Broadhead (M.C.C.) as president. As pointed out there were 12 formation clubs (see below). V.A.P.S. was underway.
