We’ve received the sad news from Chrisine Starnes that June Grundy passed away just before Christmas.
Her and her husband Bill, were members of both Hay CC and Merthyr Tydfil CC for many years.
Ieuan Llewellyn
Gwynfa CC is very very sad to report the passing of their friend and former member, Ieuan Llewellyn.
For those who knew Ieuan, they’ll let you know his funeral details as soon as they have them.
PAGB Event Rule Changes
The PAGB Executive has reviewed and agreed changes to the General Conditions for all events, the Monochrome definition and the Nature definition have changed and new rules have been introduced for ‘out of area’ members.
The rules for each event and the guidance on image repetition have been updated to match the changes. The object is to make compliance by entrant federations and clubs and photographers easier to understand, and so reduce problems arising between entrants and event organisers.
See the individual documents via the competitions page or by viewing them in the links below.
General Conditions (for all events)
PAGB (FIAP) Monochrome Definition (for some events).
PAGB Nature Definition (for some events).
Guidance about Image Repetition in Events (for all events).
There are also new rules for ‘Out of Area Photographers‘. For the PAGB Events with Club Entrants (Print Championship, Projected Digital Images Championship, GB Trophies, GB Cups), a Club may not enter the work of more than one Photographer who resides more than thirty miles outside the boundaries of the Club’s Federation. See the ‘General Conditions’ here.

PSA News
Welsh photographers have achieved good results in the New Year Circuit in Serbia. PSA Member Neville Thomas had 16 acceptances and won a Bronze Medal and an HM. Ian Ledgard had 7 acceptances and was also awarded an HM.
Three other Welsh based photographers also had successes and might perhaps consider seeking PSA recognition of their achievements John Bell and Matthew Jones both collected 16 acceptances and Anthony Baggett 8. How about it folks?

2020 Memorial Trophy Results
Hi Folks,
About 60 people turned up to see this event at Bridgend Camera Club and I’m sure that they all enjoyed the day – I guess the winners enjoyed it the most though! I want to express my thanks to Bridgend for hosting the event and looking after us all so well, shame it was such a sunny day – unusual in that part of Wales! ;>))
