Last Monthly Competition of the Year
The results have been published for our November competitions. And that means we have our accumulated points winners for the year.
Congratulations to all the winners. We have had many excellent images over the year, and each winner is well deserving of their top position in their category.
And so we can start to turn our thoughts to next year, with Scapes as the subject for January.
A scape may be defined as a vista or broad view. The vista or scene may be landscape, seascape, city, urban or and other scene, but the emphasis must be on the vista, rather than featuring a specific subject.
Closing date for January competition is 31st December. Please note that the resolution for all DPI images for next year will be 1620 x 1080, with the maximum file size remaining at 2 MB.
We hope to see you at the Annual Awards and Christmas Party on Saturday 9th December.

Please Read: Outcomes from Committee Meeting
The Club Committee met last night and discussed a range of issues relating to our Club. Below is a summary of relevant issues.
- It was agreed that direct criticism of judges during the judging process is not accepted and will not be tolerated. The MC for the night is there to control the night’s proceedings and will intervene if this situation should arise. Any concerns may be expressed to the Judge or Committee members privately.
- ‘Duplicate Images’ were discussed and it was agreed that all current rules will stand as they are. This states that any image that scores 7, 8 or 9 may not be entered into competition again. There is no rule regarding a person entering similar images, and if this does happen it is only to the entrants possible detriment.
- We have a Facebook page that is not used by all members or all Committee members. Consequently any discussion on the Facebook page cannot be dealt with directly by the Committee. If a person has a specific issue it will need to be directed to a Committee member. This applies only to issues that are for consideration by the Committee.
- It was agreed that personal attacks between members are not helpful, and that it is important to focus on issues rather than people. We are a social club of photographers and should be encouraging and supportive.
- It has been agreed to replace our ageing projector as soon as possible.
