Up Next - Tony North

On Thursday 09 February we welcome Tony North who will present on Zoom Only. Iain will email all members the Zoom meeting details. 

Please do not attend the club as this workshop is online only.

Sunday Photowalk

Picture
The next Sunday Photo walk will take place on Sunday 19 February and is a day out to North Wales to take photos of a welsh classic - Tryfan.

I suggest an early start, and car sharing. the walk itself is not long, less than a mile; however, it's uphill (at least 300 ft), and on rough ground - Mountain wear is essential. Oh, and it will probably be wet.


If you would like more information please speak to Paul Yates or join the conversation on the Club's Facebook Group.

3 Way Battle Event

Date for your diary, the 3 way battle Annual competition between Chorley, Leyland and ourselves will be hosted by Leyland on Wednesday 15 February 2023.

Time, venue etc is yet to be confirmed but will be communicated when we know.

Our entry will be 10 pdis and 10 prints.

Prints will be selected from the monthly competition entries this season which we have retained at the Club for this and similar purposes.

PDIs will be selected from the last couple of selection banks.

As always, images that have been used previously in this competition will not be eligible nor will those that are similar to or derivatives of such entries.

L&CPU Annual Competition

The L&CPU Annual Competition will take place on Saturday 4 March and Sunday 5 March 2023.

Their are two different venues:
Saturday 4 March is at 
St Mary's Parish Centre Social Club, Devonshire Road, Chorley, PR7 2BY

Sunday 5 March 2023 is at Elm Bank Conference Centre, 46 Half Edge Lane, Eccles, M30 9BA.

Our entry to this will be
  • 16 open PDI's
  • 8 nature PDI's (from the Selection Bank)
  • 8 open
  • 8 mono
  • 8 nature prints
Tim will publish our selections on the Facebook Group nearer the time but thanks to everyone who left prints for us to choose from and a reminder that the selection bank is open for another week or so.

There have been some great images this season it would be great if we can represent the Club well by using some in our external competition entries
