Hi all
We do not have a tutorial for Monday 25th November and will not be meeting.
please consider taking on position of Tutorial/Workshop Coordinator for next year We don’t have one at the moment.
We had a great night at POTY last night with the members who came and their fabulous images.
It was a little disappointing that we didn’t have as many members and images as in previous years, but we certainly enjoyed the night.
Our judge Jacqui Dean did an excellent job. She said that it was extremely difficult just getting to choose 2 in each category as she would have liked to have given so many more awards.
Congratulations to our 2024 POTY award getters and winners.

Next Monday 11th November is our POTY competition.
Our judge is Jacqui Dean who has done a fantastic job of judging for us in the past.
As we are all aware by now, our website is not completely up and running. We can enter our POTY entries, but to do this we would have to find the images on our own hard drives as access to previous entries is not yet available.
Due to not being able to access our previous entries on the website, we are going to forgo entering our entries on the website for this year. The only affect that this will have is that we won’t be able to generate a stand layout or slideshow to view on the night as the entries are being judged.
Please just bring in your POTY entries on the night and it won’t matter where they’re placed on the stands, as long as they are in the correct grade and category.
Points to Remember:
* Only 4 entries allowed.
* Only 2 Mono entries and only 2 Colour entries.
* POTY entries must have been entered sometime during 2024.
* If you had a digital image that you’d like to enter in POTY you will need to print this image.
* No changes are allowed to be made to the image from when it was entered previously. It must be exactly the same image that was entered previously during the year.
* On the back of your image we will need the following information, Your Name, Name of the entry and very importantly please put the month that the image was entered in a previous competition in 2024.
Looking forward to seeing all our best images for 2024.
We will be starting at 6:30 as per usual for competition nights. Prints will need to be on the stands by 6:00 pm to give our judge time to view them.
