NSW Presidents Message

Martin McGrath ACS & Camera Crew Webinar ~ Registration Link
Dear ACS membership and friends,

I hope you are all holding up as well as you can during these trying times.

In Australian at least it looks like we are past the worst Covid-19 and we are seeing productions starting up again and I hope that trend continues through he broader industry and you are all busy sooner rather than later.

I am very pleased that the NSW Branch has continued to host our monthly drop-ins via Zoom as they have proven to be very well received and viewed.  I wish to thank all those involved especially our guest Zöe White ACS and Roger Lanser ACS for your frank and open discussions both of which were very informative.  Congratulations to all.

This month we are fortunate to have Martin McGrath ACS who along with three of his crew will be speaking about Operation Buffalo and Ride Like A Girl.

Warm regards to you all.

 
Calvin Gardiner ACS

Reminder regarding this years MEMBERSHIP:

We feel in these extraordinary times that many of our members are suffering both financially and emotionally and therefore the ACS would like to offer all financial members a free membership for the 2020/2021 financial year. 

If a member is unfinancial they will have to pay a minimum of one year’s membership that is currently in arrears to be eligible to receive this offer.Unfortunately, we cannot extend this offer to new members, so they will be required to pay the current advertised membership fees. After all we are rewarding our current financial members for their continued loyalty and support.  
 
Please remain assured that your Society is very mindful that there will be many who will be disadvantaged by the Coronavirus and we hope to assist by this initiative.
