2026 PAGB Inter-Federation Competition & Exhibition
Our thanks go to Gareth Martin who, with me, selected 20 prints to be entered in each of three sections, mono, colour and nature, in this event. A list of the prints selected is here. (A corrected file was added on 2nd June 2026).
I have to submit our entry by 14 June and the judging takes place on 20 June. All being well, I shall be present.
There will be a further report following release of the official results.

Various email scams seem to be doing the rounds again. They aren’t very sophisticated but some of you may not have seen them and be tempted to comply.
The emails will appear to come from someone you know, perhaps a fellow club member or someone from the WPF. (Note, those people haven’t been hacked. It is just someone emailing you from a random email address and changing it to make it look like it comes from the person you know).
If you reply, you’ll get a message something like the one shown below. This is a copy of an actual message received by a member of a Camera Club.
Report all such messages to report@phishing.gov.uk

Monmouth Photographic Club will be having an exhibition of members’ prints at Monmouth Community Hub and Library, The Rolls Hall, Whitecross st, Monmouth NP25 3BY. The exhibition runs from 18th April to 23rd May 2026.
On Saturday 1st August Aberystwyth Camera Club will be holding an exhibition of the work of Tony Hicklin, their President and dear friend, who has passed away recently. Prints will be on sale and, due to the generosity of local businesses, there will also be some fabulous raffle prizes. Every penny raised will go to the Stroke Association.
