Motion to require the Committee to change and republish the Clubworker Competition rules for the 2010/2011 season
As follows
Remove the option of entering slides in Clubworker competitions.
(But film in general, and slides in particular, can continue to be used as source images for prints and projected digital images, subject to other rules).
Justification
The policy has been not to restrict the use of slides as long as members wanted to enter slides. But no slides were entered in Clubworker competitions during the 2009/2010 season.
There are advantages if no one enters, or can enter, slides in competitions:
- There is no need to ensure that judges can cater for slides.
- The rules will be simplified.
- We can avoid the hassle of handling and projecting slides in addition to other display methods.
- There is potential for re-assignment or disposal of assets of the society used for display and projection of slides, depending on other resolutions.
(This motion will not cause the society’s slide scanner to be disposed of).
