Pitches Forever

Pitches for when you’re not yet done with the summer passing by

Can you believe it’s the last week of the summer?! This Friday will be the autumnal equinox, which means the sun will be directly above the equator and day and night will be the same length… or something. A moment of silence for our 2023 summers which we will never get back.

Started the summer solo travelling for the first time and just spent the last weekend of summer taking sink baths in a cabin with non-potable water. (it wasn’t that bad)

Announcements

Tomorrow, September 19th’s meeting will be a intro to photography workshop. We’ll be playing with some cameras and weather permitting going on a short photo walk around campus.

No worries if you can’t make this time, you’re still welcome to pick up a pitch. I’ll also be planning a photo social this term that will be at a separate time, so keep your eyes open for that when2meet survey.
Make sure you join the facebook group and discord! Email pitch-lists will go out once a week but rolling pitches will be posted on facebook and discord as soon as I get requests for them.
Games night at the Ubyssey this Thursday, September 21st 7pm. Be there or be square.
