He has sent over his slide notes and some photography ideas for our members. SLF FINALS DAY – ENTER YOUR PRINTS SLF finals day is on 23 April at Sanderstead Methodist Church, 104 Limpsfield Road, South Croydon CR2 9EF. Doors open at 1.30pm and it should end at around 5.20pm. We have entered a club panel, but there is also the opportunity for members to enter up to 2 images in an open colour print competition, and up to 2 images in an open mono print competition. These cannot be prints that are already in the club panel and images cannot be entered that have won certificates in previous SLF competitions, nor can they have been used in other disciplines i.e. PDIs. If anyone has any prints that they would like to enter, Julie will need the prints by 24 February at the latest, as they have to be handed in the following week. She will also need a jpeg of the image before 24 February to enter into the Photo Entry system before the closing date. These open prints will be prejudged and results/certificates awarded on finals day. Please email Julie on printsec@bromleycameraclub.org.uk if you are intending to enter any prints. SLF PLATE COMPETITION – PDI RESULTS We came joint-third in this competition! Congratulations to all members who represented the club – see the full results for a breakdown of individual scores.

If you have an idea and would like to put together a design, please talk to one of the committee members. MEMBERS OF OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS If you are a member of any other photography clubs, please let Brian know (pdisecretary@bromleycameraclub.org.uk). This is to ensure we only enter valid images in inter-club competitions. COMMITTEE VACANCIES The role of Outings Secretary will be vacant at the end of this season.
