NORTHANTS BIRD CLUB PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION 2019

Hello everyone,

Well it's getting toward that exciting time of the year for all the club's photographers to sort out their entries,

Again, Graham Soden's coveted award will be won and displayed on someone's mantle piece for a whole year, ooohh the kudos!

So to that end for anyone thinking of entering this years foray I would ask that the new
rules are read thoroughly.

There are a few slight changes including the closing date, so please go to the competition rules page on the blog for full information.

As stated earlier we have a new Judge (ANDY) for this year which always makes life exciting.

Any donations for the Gossage's poor fund can be secreted with the paper X-reference.
thank you in advance.


Good luck with that then !
