'What's Your Angle?' Photography Competition Success
The Boyup Brook CRC’s “What’s Your Angle?” Photography Competition and Exhibition is over for another year and whilst entry numbers were a little down from last year, the quality of the photographs certainly was not. According to judge Michelle Wrighton, who spent hours deliberating over the 73 entries, the quality of work was outstanding!
The CRC would like to extend a big thankyou to the event sponsors for their generous donations to enable the competition to run: Michelle Wrighton Photography, Blackwood Plant Hire, Bluestone Café, Boyup Brook Co-op, Hampton Partners and John Rich Real Estate.
And a big thankyou to everyone who entered and supported the “What’s Your Angle?” Photography Competition. The CRC is very grateful to all of the support that the event received in its second year. A calendar featuring a selection of entries will be compiled and available for sale in December.

WAR ON WASTE - Boyup BrookDuring December, the CRC has sent off four more boxes of Nespresso Pods and taken a bucket load of household batteries to Battery World, Bunbury for recycling.
Now there are two more items that are being collected by the CRC. Bread tags come in many shapes, sizes and colours. Made of High Impact Polystyrene they have a good recycling value. It takes 200kg of tags to bring in enough money to buy one wheelchair. Bread tags for wheelchairs has been recycling bread tags in South Africa since 2006 and Australia is now collecting them too! So, save your plastic bread tags, drop them in to the CRC’s collection jar and help to fund more wheelchairs. Collecting bread tags, even broken ones, makes a difference to our environment too as they are recycled into seedling trays, picture frames, coat hangers and other items. http://www.breadtagsforwheelchairs.co.za Plastic Bottle Lids are also wanted for a community arts project. Milk bottles, juice bottles or soft drinks, any colour. Please just rinse them clean and drop them into the collection tub. Photos of our Activities
