The East Anglian Federation (EAF) of Photographic Societies was founded in 1910 and has thus been in existence for over 100 years. The EAF is a constituent founder Member of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB), which is the parent organisation for camera clubs and photographic societies throughout the UK. Having 128 member clubs and societies with in excess of 4500 individual members, the EAF is now the largest federation in the PAGB covering the area of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and that part of Hertfordshire which lies to the east of the M1 motorway. Following the closure of the Central Federation in 1989 a number of North and East London clubs were welcomed into the East Anglian Federation.

EAF Inter-Club PDI Championship Report 2019
On Sunday 10th February, 34 clubs took part in the PDI Championship at Fulbourn near Cambridge. Each club showed 15 images in Round One, aiming for a place in Round Two. The top scoring 13 clubs progressed to Round Two, showing us a further 10 images with all 25 images counting towards the final positions.
This year we had clear winners and the final results were:
Winning club gaining the EAF Trophy – Beyond Group
Runner up club gaining the Eric Saul Memorial Trophy – Photographic Imaging Co-operative (PICO)
Third placed club certificate – Cambridge Camera Club
Beyond Group and the Photographic Imaging Co-operative (PICO) will therefore be invited to represent the EAF at the PAGB Inter-Club PDI Championship to be held in Warwick in July. In addition, as Cambridge Camera Club reached the final of the PAGB event last year, they too will represent the Federation. It is a good event, and our representatives would welcome some support. Tickets need to be bought in advance from the PAGB website.
My thanks to everyone who helped to make the day possible – the clubs and their Competition Secretaries, the Executive, their spouses and friends, the staff at the Fulbourn Community Centre, and of course the three judges.
The judges selected the following images as their personal choices and their joint
choice as the best image in the Championship:
Best PDI of the Championship: “Flour Power” by Marcia Mellor of Beyond Group

New Standard Resolution for EAF PDI Competitions
A new Canon WUX500 projector, which can project to a higher resolution, has been purchased. We can therefore adopt the new PAGB standard resolution of 1600px X 1200px for the EAF Championships and the EAF Exhibition. We will continue to accept file sizes of 1400px X 1050px which will project a little smaller on the screen but strongly recommend that smaller file sizes are not used.
More details of the change are available on page 12 of the September 2018 EAF Bulletin (See below.
