The return of the Monthly Web Competition Long standing members will recall that we used to run a “fun” competition on the old web site. At the last committee meeting it was decided that we should revive the idea starting in January 2012 Iie. NOW.
The idea is to allow new members and people who have got out of the habit of competing a chance to test the water. The rules are informal.

Help We hope that by producing What's On we introduce you not only to the activities provided by the club but also to other opportunities to get out and about to take photographs or to see exhibitions or listen to interesting speakers.
Finally cover images
However we can only do this if we know what is going on outside the club.
The image should be about 1500 pixels wide. What's On is landscape format and therefore landscape images are preferred you will also note that type is placed to the bottom right-hand corner so please take that into account when choosing the photograph.
We need input from you to keep What's On and the calendar up-todate. If you learn of anything which might be of interest to other members whether it be somewhere to go or something to see please let us know. For general events and photo opportunities please email the details to our events coordinator Steward Elliott. wildprophotos@yahoo.co.uk For other stuff please e-mail it to me secretary@bandd.cc
I am sure that there is someone out there who would like to have their image on the cover and if you would send me an image you have every chance of it being used next week.
We also have introduced a Featured Photographer item on the web page so if you have a set of images you would like to profile send them to me with a short story and you too can be featured
