Next Wednesday we are being treated to an evening by our much revered Chairman, Ralph Snook ARPS DPAGB EFIAP/s, this is what he says about we can expect:
Images will be mostly from my travels (as yet not finalised) but will include Norway (Northern Lights and Spitsbergen) and some places a lot further South. Sure to include a few anecdotes and comments on how uncooperative the Natural World can be, and maybe even a few goodish images.
I will endeavour to use images you have not seen before, although a few older ones may make their way past the memory bank.

Projected Image Competition - Closing Date |
Competition Time Is here again - Bi-monthly competitions are back!
Next Wednesday, 7 September, is the entry deadline for the Round 1 of the Projected Image competition. The prescribed topic is 'Endurance' - so, stick at it and have a go!
These competitions consist of 4 rounds at roughly two-monthly intervals. Club level entrants may submit a maximum of 3 PDI images or prints in each round of the applicable competition. Intermediate and Advanced entrants may submit a maximum of 2 images. Across the four rounds these points are accumulated. Trophies are presented in each of the 3 levels (Club, Intermediate, and Advanced) to the holders of the highest number of points at the end of the four rounds. The trophies will be presented at the club AGM.
Prescribed Topic Challenge
For entrants at all levels, one of their 3 or 2 images may be submitted for an optional Prescribed topic challenge in each round. These will be judged together, regardless of the entrant’s level. This entry must be identified with the letter P, not the level letter. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will, however, accrue to the entrant’s score at the appropriate level.
A separate tally of Prescribed scores will be kept, with awards for the PDI and Print winners at the end of the season.
