    Posted on September 2nd, 2009 Con Murphy No comments

    The club are trying to get a panel of images ready for this event. Any member that has not got a distinction can enter images so will members new and old start bringing in photos so we can gather them and start to make up the two panels . One panel will be in colour and the second will be black and white. We entered the shield last year and did quite well but with the standard of the images coming into the club we know we can improve on this.This is a great chance to show our work and to judge our work against other clubs.So please start bringing in photos as soon as possible .

  • IPF National Shield

    Posted on July 17th, 2009 Paul Whiteley No comments

    The IPF national shield will take place this year on the weekend of the 14-15 of November. We had a very strong colour panel last year with Con winning a bronze medal for his image of a deer. This year we’d like to enter again so start checking your images, a strong black and white panel can really bring in points.
