Material for the Annual Exhibition
Some members have asked for the categories of material accepted for our Annual Exhibition next February to be extended to include projected digital images in the same way as our Clubworker Competitions have been. When the new system of Clubworker Competitions was proposed by the Committee and agreed by the last AGM, it was stated that the Annual Exhibition arrangements would not be changed for this session.
After detailed consideration it has been decided not to change the exhibition system for this year as it would not be possible to fairly inform all members in time for the submission date which is the first meeting after the Christmas break (Tuesday 6th January). Additionally our constitution requires rule changes to be agreed by an Annual or Extraordinary General Meeting after due notice has been given.
Members may enter up to 8 prints and up to 8 slides for the exhibition in Advanced Class, and up to 5 prints and up to 5 slides in Beginner/Intermediate Class. The largest possible number of prints will be hung and it should be possible to back project all the slide entries in sequence whilst the exhibition is open for viewing. Also it is hoped as last year to digitally project copies of those prints which could not be hung, again in sequence on a monitor display.
The Annual Exhibition arrangements will be reviewed for the 2009/10 session in the light of experience gained in running the projected image competitions this session.
The confusion on the matter is much regretted.
