Change to IOTY RULE
Please note that there will be no PRINT image of the year competition in 2020 as a result of changes forced by Covid virus. Consequently, the committee have decided that “Because of the cancellation of the monthly Print competitions for this year, the Committee has agreed that any Prints entered in the January or February competitions in 2020 may be entered again in any monthly Print or Digital competition (this year or any future year) regardless of any awards they received in January and February.” However to qualify for entry into any Image of the Year competition those images must already have been entered into one of the monthly competitions for that year and must be in the same type of section. Ie: Nature, Colour, Mono. Images that have been entered in Set Subject competitions during the year may be entered in the Colour, Mono or Nature sections of the IOTY if they fit the relevant definitions.

2020 AGM MEETING AND TALKS
AGM WEDNESDAY 19TH AUGUST 2020
REFER TO THE LINKS to the documents for the MINUTES of 2019 AGM and the AGENDA FOR 2020 AGM
Please note that we are holding this year’s AGM by Zoom. A link will be sent to each and every member by personal email from Greg Carruthers who has been instrumental in enabling us to hold our committee meetings and presentations via Zoom. You will receive a link to the AGM meeting on Wednesday morning. If you do not receive this, please contact Greg by his personal email: gkcarruthers@gmail.com.
Please note that nominations for committee positions closed last Friday midnight.
We have organised a slightly different format this year which starts off at 7pm with 2 mini talks for you. The AGM follows and after that meeting we have another 2 mini talks. The first talks are “Dodging and burning basics” by Roy Killen then Dennis Archibald speaks about “Can I take your photograph?” persuading people to let him fire away!
The third talk will be given by Greg Carruthers on “How to remove halos from your images” and finally Diane Schofield will talk about “The future of photography”. All gems from our generous speakers.
