Ed Cloutman has informed us that he has done away with the Judges and Presenters STATISTICS forms as they no longer serve much purpose.  If Judges or Presenters have any problems or wish to change or add to their presentations, please email him directly at judgepresent@thewpf.co.uk

The Judges and Presenters Assessment Forms will, of course, remain as they are very valuable for feedback. Please remember to complete them as often as you can.

As the club season is coming to an end (for some clubs), he is going to send out individual feedback to each judge with a summary of general comments made about them throughout the last year. These are strictly confidential. The feedback will also give judges an idea of the way their ratings are progressing, and for those who have not yet got any stars, how many more returns are required for them to have a rating.

He is also going to try and ensure that all our judges on the Supplementary List get the boost they need to go on the Main List.

Two WPF club members were topic finalists in the recent Cardiff Photomarathon which saw 400 photographers compete to take the best photos on 12 topics in 12 hours.

Susan Plant of Port Talbot was a finalist in the ‘Street Level’ topic and Leigh Woolford of Gwynfa was a finalist in the ‘Control’ topic. Congratulations to both. Photos below.

The 2014 Photomarathon Exhibition is open at the Cardiff Story until July 5th.

If you achieved success in the 2014 Photomarathon, please let us know.

Another new club has joined the WPF. Oakdale Photographic Society is based near Blackwood and you can find out more about them on their website. I am sure you will all join us in welcoming them to the federation!

Big apologies for the omission of Kidwelly Camera Club from our previous post welcoming six new clubs to the WPF. Seemingly in their place we included Gower Photographic Society, who aren’t new to the WPF, they have just changed their name (from Mumbles & West Cross).

This was solely an error on the part of our news editor (that’s me). It was the Gower name change that threw me off the scent. I was looking for six new names on the list and thought I had found them all.

So, to all Kidwelly members, I am very sorry for upsetting you!

We have received a copy of this letter from Alan Shepherd over at Gwynfa. It is from the Police communications advisory group and explains to officers that they cannot restrict photography in a public place.

This from our News Editor, Leigh Woolford:

When I am giving my presentation to clubs, members often ask about the practicalities of travelling to Iceland. Therefore I decided to add a blog post to my website. You can see it here. It provides some basic information about flights, car hire, hotels and costs.

I hope some of you find it of interest. If you have any questions, you can ask them via the blog page. I’ll do my best to answer if I can…
