PAGB Championship at Warwick – July 2019
This is the full report and result of the PAGB Championship at Warwick on Saturday 13th July, Chichester CC qualified by winning the SCPF Championship in March.
As you can see in the result report out of the best 36 Clubs in Great Britain Chichester achieved a creditable 19th which when considering 1200 in the PAGB we are in the top 20 PDI Club in GB not bad result.
Our best scores were:
Sheila Tester = Dalmatian Pelican Defending Territory 15 out of 15
Ann McDonald = Gannet Defending Space 14 out of 15
Ann McDonald = The Sawmill Foreman 13 out of 15
John Howes = The Scoundrel & the Scholar 13 out of 15
Jim Munday = Taking a pounding 13 out of 15
Images that scored well during the competitions were Black & White with a narrative. Nature images, good sport type of photographs, good environmental portraiture and amazingly dog pictures. These are my thoughts from Saturday, a very interesting day. The five pictures below are from the above photographers; see who is whose.

LONDON SALON MEDAL FOR Lorna Brown!
I’m delighted to announce that Lorna Brown EFIAP, has won a Salon Medal at this year’s London Salon of Photography. Over the years only five Chichester Camera Club members have achieved this rare distinction, Lorna now takes this number up to six!
In addition to her medal Lorna has had two images accepted at the salon. This is a significant achievement in a salon where only a very small number of submitted prints are accepted for exhibition. All of the accepted images may be viewed on the Salon website here http://www.londonsalon.org/2019-salon/4594634346
Congratulations Lorna!

PDI of the Year – Rule Clarification
The PDI of the Year competition is open to all members who have submitted images into PDI competitions during the 2018-19 programme year and 2 of those entries may be entered into the PDI Of the Year competition through the usual upload portal. Any images submitted must be as in their original entry i.e. no further reworking of the image is allowed
PDI of the Year
Just a reminder to get your entries in for the PDI of the Year. This year this competition will be judged by the same judge that will be assessing the Annual Exhibition entries.
The rules are fairly simple, just pick two PDI images and upload them. The competition is open to all levels and entries must have been submitted into previous PDI competitions this year (2018-19). Last year’s winner was from Club class, so don’t think this is just for Advanced workers.
Most people will probably choose two entries that scored the highest, but you may choose from any of the (up to) 9 entries you have submitted this year.
The upload site is in the usual place, get uploading!
Competition rules can always be found here.
