We have Print entries from 25 Clubs and Digital entries from 47 Clubs. We will be holding a raffle, Fotospeed will be in attendance and there should be plenty of time for you to chat or pop into town. I'm bringing my camera for some lunchtime street photography! We plan to display as many prints as is physically possible. We are still working out the logistics of this and hope to have more space available to us this year.  For those of you who were disappointed with the low scores across the board last year, I think you will find this year's competition a far more positive experience.

Doors open at  9.30am and the competition runs from 10.30am to approx. 4.30pm.

Three very important items:

1. Tickets - Please buy your tickets direct from Exeter Corn Exchange. There should be tickets on the door but buy in advance to be certain.

2. Parking

Market Street is the closest location and is next to the venue. Other car parks are available. The Park and Ride does not seem to be available on Sundays.

Market Street charges are as follows:  After 9am on the day - £16.95 all day. Using the *NCP App reduces this to £14.95. There is an Early bird rate available if you arrive before 9am - £9.95 all day. Using the app reduces this to £8.95. The Market Street car park closes at 6.30pm

* Note that there is a NEW NCP App. This replaces the old NCP Park Pass, which will no longer work. So for convenience it would be worth downloading the new app, validating your payment details and adding your car registration before you travel.

3. Knightshayes Trophy

Exeter will be the hand-in for entries for the Knighthayes Trophy - 'Water in all its Forms'.

Don't forget to download an entry form to accompany your work: https://www.thewcpf.com/knightshayes-trophy

Stephen and I will be judging this together, talking about some of our favourite photos and what we enjoyed about them. We will be looking for originality, imagination, and new work. We are open to any interpretation of the theme, any genres. We just want to encourage you to print and we want lots of wonderful photos on display for everyone to enjoy before Pam and Eddys 'Arctica Talk' which I am sure will also feature water in several forms! You can take your work back with you on the day and enter it into the Members' Exhibition as well.

All the best

Helen
