SEASON 2020-21
Members will have received an email link(29/05) to SAPA's recent 'Best of Year' PDI competition results. Well done to Alan Bevis for his 'Steamy Conversation' which achieved a Highly Commended.
The Club again entered the Southern Counties Photographic Federation League(SCPF) for DPI's in the current season. Having been promoted to the heady heights of League 1 the previous year we have unfortunately now slipped into League 2. However there are seven leagues and 57 clubs entering eight images each and the competition standards are extremely high so many thanks to those continuing to represent us at such a high level.
We also had more local success with the Stour and Avon Photographic Association(SAPA).This has ten clubs in four groups(all DPI's this year) and we are proud to announce that we won both our Group and the overall Final. Again many thanks to all those whose images were selected.
