A few things...

Firstly we have received an email regarding a National Open Photographic Competition for Charity. It's The Second Sharow Photographic Competition 2007 and proceeds go to Macmillan Cancer Support. I've never heard of the Comp, but it seems legit. Anyone interested can find out more at www.sharowphotocomp.co.uk. Closing date is 14th April. - Don't forget, it's for 'Charidee Mate'

Secondly, I am going to trial a monthly 'Photo Challenge' using our Group pages on Flickr. If any members are interested in participating, this is to be a relaxed, 'just for fun' comp, without lots of rules, to offer a bit of a departure from the Formal Club Comps. I'll set the theme for March which will be 'Household Patterns' to keep things easy first time out. If you want to participate, it's simple!; just upload your image to your Flickr account and add it to your SPS Group images, then post the URL of the image on the SPS Flickr Group Message Board with Message Title March Photo Challenge and your image Title. At the end of the month we'll have a democratic vote on the message board for the best pic, and the winner can choose the next month's theme.

Finally, can anyone confirm if Animal Portraits are submissable in the Portraits Category of our Club Comps - rules state Person or Persons only nothing about animals??
