Tuesday 

Midnight Tuesday is the deadline for entries into the 12 days of Christmas critique.
  • If you don't have all 12 items please enter what you have anyway.
  • If you don't have new shots for a subject then you can enter an older shot that has been processed in a new way.
 Let's get lots of entries to make it a useful critique evening.
Next Week

It's our 12 Days of Christmas critique evening, a chance to see how other photographers approach an assignment so it should be a good evening.
UPCOMING EXTERNAL COMPETITIONS

We have three dates for you to put in your diaries. They are external competitions that our club is entering. 
The first is St Ives Interprint Competition held on Saturday 22 February 2020 at the Free Church Centre, Market Hill, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 5AL. The day consists of firstly, of an exhibition of all entered images which can be viewed between 10am to 4.30pm. After that, between 6pm and 9.30pm the images are judged (this year by Monica Weller FRPS) and presentation to the winners.

The second is the East Anglian Federation of Photographic Societies (EAF for short, thankfully) Inter-club PDI and print competitions. They are both held at the Fulbourn Centre, 31 Home End, Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, CB21 5BS.
The PDI competition is being held on Sunday 9 February 2020 between 10.30am and 4pm
And the print competition is on Sunday 8 March 2020, again between 10.30am to 4pm.

By competing in these events, H2PS will be up against the best club photography within our region; it is challenging, yes, but important to inspire us to keep our standards high, develop and improve. And useful, motivating and enjoyable to view the images that other clubs are producing. Pop these dates in your diary and come along and support your club.
