This evening, Monday 21st September, we have our first competition of the season.

We are trying something new this year in our PDI competitions where we are adding an additional, Themed competition where each member can enter one image on a specific theme.

Tonight's theme is Water.

So this evening we will start off with the images entered into the Themed competition - 25 images, no classes, so everyone is competing together.

Following that we'll move to the regular open PDI competition, starting with Club Class before the tea break and ending with Advanced after the break.

Please do come along - if you are new and interested, it's a great opportunity to see the diversity of subjects the members of our club photographs. We start at 7.45pm and we'll be setting up from about 7.15pm

Last year, Mal scored a 10 with his "Long-Horned Beetle", and Dave a 9 with his image "Sadhu"

Reminder that we have Jack Lodge coming to speak to us tomorrow evening (Monday 30th March), and as always you can expect a combination of beautiful photographs, helpful advice and irrepressible enthusiasm.

Those of you who have seen Jack speak before will know, those of you who haven't should come along.

Jack has recently been speaking at The Photography Show for Canon and Fotospeed, and as far as I can tell hasn't had a wink of sleep since - Milky Way season has started, landscapes are getting a spring makeover and wildlife is emerging.

As usual we meet at 7.30 for 7.45, please do come along.
