What Happens?

Club Meets Twice a Month:

1. Focus Night:
Offers basic video-making training, aimed squarely at beginners.  It is held once a month on the second Wednesday except December and January.

2. Club Night
Starts early with tea and consists of an expert lecture on a video making topic followed by a short tea break.  After the break there is either a practical team effort or competition screenings.  Held once a month on the fourth Wednesday except November and December.

We have competitions:
The club is divided into teams.  During the year, there are three competitions each with a different pre-arranged theme.  Teams or individuals may enter the competitions.  Screenings are held on the Club Night on which the entries are due.  Judging is carried out by members of other video clubs and the results are available on the Club Night following screening.

There is a monthly newsletter called "Electronic Eye"
The club's monthly newsletter and magazine.  It keeps members up to date with club information, what is happening at the coming month's meetings and technical video-related information.

VOTY
Members compete for a number of awards culminating in Video of the Year. This is the Club's premiere short film event and this year it will be held on 26 November 2010.

In mid 1991 two Australian video magazines carried a notice
by John Weaver inviting interested persons to contact him regarding establishing a new camcorder club in Sydney.
A number of enthusiasts turned up at the first meeting and called the club "Northside Camcorder Club".
Almost 20 years later and renamed Sydney Video Makers Club, it is the biggest video-making club in Australia.
