SYLLABUS 2009/2010

Please note that our season 2009/2010 has now ended.

See the DRAFT version of the 2010/2011 syllabus.

H means handing-in dates for competitions, usually 2 weeks before the judging date.

C means handing-in dates for members' photo critiques, usually 2 weeks before the photos (with comments) will be displayed on the noticeboard at a meeting. This is not a competition, merely helpful tips offered by 3 experienced members of the club.

P means there will be a pre-competition discussion of images on this date. Bring along some photos for an informal critique by fellow-members.
