PAGB AWARDS
Applications
Our Competition Secretary, Henry Mullarkey, has had the following note
from PAGB Awards Secretary, Leo Rich:-
(UPDATE 22ND JUNE 2009 in blue)
As mentioned in my previous note April 2010 is filling rapidly.
For the Saturday (Distinction Day)
I still have about 14 places available. There have only been two Slide applications so it looks very much as if this section will be cancelled - unless I suddenly receive at least three more. There is always hope for them in the Nov 2010 event where we will run slide sections irrespective of the number of entries.
Sunday ( Credit & Masters Day)
Credit & Masters now full. Any further applications will be returned with the request that they re-apply if they wish in August for the November 2010 assessment. There are no Credit slide entries so this section has already been cancelled. There is one Master Slide and it looks as if this section will not run so the same offer of a place in Nov 2010 will be made.
November 2010
Preparation of the new literature is well advanced and should be with you in August, as promised, if not before. In view of the limited number of places available in April please make clear to anyone you issue the current literature to that it could be out of date unless they intend applying very quickly.
Details of the adjudication in November 2009 have now been finalised. It is at the Stirling Management Centre, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA. www.smc.stir.ac.uk . Entry packs are nearly ready. Successful entrants have alreday been informed that they have a place. Distinctions are Saturday 28th November, Credit and Masters 29th November.

Sandbach Photographic Society
The June edition of Black & White Photograpy magazine features the work of Sandbach PS member,
Nigel Richards MA ARPS.
Nigel gained his MA last year and the article features images from his MA project "From Above".
Anyone who has seen Nigel's exquisitely produced thesis will know that these thought-provoking images are a reminder that photography has many voices. They can be seen at www.nigelrichards.org.uk , and at the Real Camera Company, Dale St. Manchester (July).
From Above has now been published and is available from the Blurb Bookshop.
Garstang CC 50th Anniversary
Over 40 past and present members of Garstang Camera Club gathered at Wyre Bank, Garstang, to celebrate the club's 50th Anniversary and Presentation Night on Wednesday
May 20th. Several founder members and those who had been members since the early days of the club were present.
Guest of honour was L&CPU President, Norman Thompson DPAGB LBIPP, who presented cups and certificates for our club competitions.

The Five Towns Monochrome Competition
Properly called the Alan Challinor Trophy this annual inter-club competition is for monochrome prints and takes place between Alsager CC, Crewe PS,
Nantwich CC,
Sandbach PS and MCPF club Whitchurch.
This year Alsager CC hosted the event and Margaret Salisbury FRPS APAGB EFIAP judged the competition. After a very entertaining evening the Trophy went over the border to Whitchurch, who won by one mark.
The L&CPU clubs were not to be completely outdone however; Margaret selected Stampeding Zebras by Ian Whiston (Crewe PS) as the best print.
South Manchester CC Honours President
The South Manchester Camera Club recently held a canal boat cruise around the
Manchester and Salford Quays waterways to commemorate the efforts of Alfred Brown
CPAGB who recently retired as President after serving the club’s committee for over 35
years.
The club members also presented Alfred with a photo book featuring pictures taken
during his 40 years as a member of the club, together with a number of his own
successful competition entries.
New Club President Ray Grover ARPS (right) is pictured congratulating Alfred before the
departure of the SS Lowry from Castlefields.

Future Slide Adjudications
"Slides are unlikely to feature in the April 2010 Adjudication in East Anglia but we have decided that we will run every Slide category in November 2010 in the L&CPU (who host that adjudication - Webmaster) even if we get fewer entrants than the current rules permit – we will run the slide sections even if there is only ONE applicant. It may be some considerable time after 2010 before there is another Slide Adjudication so this may be your last opportunity." - PAGB E-NEWSLETTER 11, May 2009
Ashton Market Hall – Pictures Sought
Note from Christine Widdall
Tameside Council have restored the Market Hall in Ashton-under-Lyne after the fire there in May 2004.
They are looking to make a replica of the stained glass window on the door of the Bow Street Entrance and need photographs to help. It was made in 1930 and depicted the awarding of the market charter in 1284. They especially need details of the embellishments round the central feature.
If you can help please email the L&CPU Webmaster initially.
