The pictures, which were taken in Belgium & France over the last few years, depict the peace & tranquility that now replaces the carnage of 100 years ago.
You can view the Exhibition from June 13th to July 4th by going in through the main entrance & up the marble stairs.

As you all know the first print competition of the season is on 7th October. To reiterate and expand on what was mentioned at last nights meeting with regards to entries, there are two key points to keep in mind:
1. All thumbnails submitted to the competition secretary must be in the same format as you would normally send for a PI competition (see, preparing for competition, on the Resources page for details).
The thumbnails are used for, amongst other things, uploading on to the website if the print is placed in a competition, and as a memory aid when selecting candidate prints for battles.
I'm afraid if we do not receive your thumbnails correctly, we will not be able to upload the images.
2. On the evening of the competition all prints must be handed in by 7:10pm on the understanding that anything that arrives between 7:10 and 7:30 will be processed IF WE HAVE THE TIME. Anything that
arrives after 7:30 will be excluded irrespective of what section they are in. This is to ensure that all received prints are cross checked against entered thumbnails, titles etc and that if any member says they’re entering but doesn’t turn up on the night, they do not get awarded a point unduly.
If anymore clarification is needed please contact the competition secretary or myself.
