Club Night Preview 22nd November

Results night: Digital and George Samuel Trophies

Judge Alan Porrett ARPS DPAGB AFIAP APAGB

The George Samuel Trophy is for slide of the year and, sadly in many ways, this is our last slide competition ever. There will be no more from 2013 onwards. So this is the last hurrah for projected colour reversal film after a long and illustrious history. As far as we know, we were the last club to still have projected slides competitions but even we have to bow to the inevitable. We pay tribute to all our slide workers past and present for their fabulous work over many years.

The Digital Trophy is also changing as announced at the AGM last week. This will be the last time the entries have to demonstrate the versatility of the photographer.

So many reasons to not miss this night! And as a bonus we have our old friend Alan Porrett doing the judging honours.
