URGENT – PSA Interclub

So that our club can enter the PSA Interclub competitions, I need all members who may possibly submit images for these competitions to sign an image release form that will allow PSA to show your images on the PSA website. Please download the form and email it to Roy Killen as soon as possible. I must have these forms by 1st October. If I do not have your signed form by 1st October you will not be able to participate in the Interclub competitions.

ALL club members are encouraged to start submitting entries for possible selection to represent our club in the PSA Interclub competitions. Entries can be made from the club web page where you enter monthly competitions. Entries for Round 1 must be uploaded before October 15 – but only if you have submitted a release form.

A full explanation of how the PSA Interclub competitions are organised can be downloaded here. Our club has done well in these competitions in the last few years – let’s keep it up. 

If you have any questions about the PSA Interclub competitions please email Roy Killen
