Digital entries closing date changed.
At the committee meeting held last night we had extensive discussions about the changes that have been implemented re: digital judging now being done live on comp night.
It was decided that as the judge no longer needs time for judging and making comments that it is no longer necessary for the judges to get access to the digital entries so far in advance.
Starting with our next competition, which is our May competition, the closing date for digital entries will be the same as the closing time for the print entries. That means all of our May entries will be due by 11:59 pm on Saturday 11th May.
This is something that a few members have been requesting.
It will then be the same for all future competitions.
Thank you to David Price for making the necessary adjustments on our website.
The judges will have access to the digitals from when the competition entries close just so that they can have a brief overview before judging on the night. This will now only be 2 days as opposed to previously 2 weeks. The reason for this is that the judge no longer needs to do the judging at home, rather they will do the judging live on the night.
We are giving them the 2 days to view them if they wish as viewing the digitals on the night isn’t as easy as viewing the prints and it could make it easier to judge on the night if they’ve been able to preview them.
We hope this change of entry date will make things a lot easier for our members who have been requesting this.

Financial Position of WWCC
As I won’t be at the AGM in June, the committee has decided to outline our financial position at the moment and predicted budget outcome for the following financial year. I presented this at our meeting Monday night for those in attendance. Please email me if you have any comments or questions.
I would like to also remind members that all positions for the committee are declared vacant at the end of June, and if you would like some new blood and energy in our club, please consider nominating for a role.

Comp Night Tomorrow
Good morning,
This is just a short reminder that tomorrow night Monday 8th April is our competition night.
Don’t forget that our new starting time for comp night’s starts tomorrow night and we start at 6:30.
(Actually, if we could be ready to start by 6:25 tomorrow that would be great as Colleen has a few announcements).
It would be really appreciated if we could get our prints on the stands by 6 pm to give our judge time to have a good look. (Please remember not to put image titles on the front).
As I have previously said we do understand this may not be possible for a couple of our members.
The schedule for our competition night is as follows:
- 6:00 PM prints will be on the stands for judge to have time for a preliminary viewing.
- 6:30 pm our competition night will begin will the digital judging. We will have a slideshow during which the judge will announce awards and make comments.
- 7:30 pm our digital judging will be completed and we will have a 15 minute tea/coffee break with a chance to discuss any questions arising after the print judging. Any announcements can be made during this break time.
- 7:45 pm our print judging will begin.
- 8:45 pm we will finish and commence packing up.
Thanks for you’re cooperation whilst we give these changes a fair trial.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow evening.
PS. If you can’t be at the meeting and have digital entries please remember to reach out to a fellow club member to make a note of comments made by our judge, Mick Lynch.
