Hello Firstname
 
Wednesday 25 September
Next Wednesday sees the start of the 2013-2014 competition season when we kick off with Round 1 of the Projected Image Compettion. The judge for this round is Mark Mumford FRPS from South Wales. Mark visited us back in July showing how he created the images he used for his RPS Associateship & Fellowship panels - his take on more conventional (or should I say, less unconventional?) images should make for an interesting evening!

Print Competition - Round 1
Final call for prints for the first round of the Print Competition -  the closing date is just one week away, next Wednesday 25 September. The judge is Peter Gennard MFIAP EFIAP/g from the Midlands
If you have any problems or queries I'm sure that David or Patsy will be only too pleased to answer them, please email David at david@vizion2000.net
