PAGB Interfederation – WPF Selections
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.

Tired Old Scams Abound Yet Again
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
