PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit

The Awards for Photographic Merit were held at the Latton Bush Centre, Harlow on the 24^th/25^th April. There were 7 entries for the Credit Print section and 1 for the Credit Digital entry from the EAF resulting in 2 passes. Colin Strong of Potters Bar & District PS and Brian Fleming of Halstead & District PS.

At Distinction level there were 6 entries in the Print category from the EAF, resulting in 3 passes: Ian Kippax of Bottisham & Burwell PC, Eileen Bennett of Southgate PS and Sue Brock-Hollinshead of Cambridge CC. There were no digital entries from the EAF. There were two entries for the Master Award in the Print section, but unfortunately neither was successful.

Teamwork Pays Off

A smoothly-run PAGB Awards assessment took place on the weekend of 24^th/25^th April thanks to the efforts of many of the Executive Committee and Harlow Photographic Society. It was all down to the organisation of Andy and Daphne Hanson backed up by Eric and Naomi Saul and the willing team of volunteers that beavered away behind the scenes to make it all happen. This did not go unnoticed by the PAGB and Leo Rich, Awards Secretary, wrote to the EAF President, Malcolm Tinn, congratulating the EAF on the excellent organisation (see here for copy of letter).

So, thanks to all who helped over that weekend. Congratulations to those who were successful and gained awards. Commiserations to those that didn’t with the hope that you’ll try again in the future. A more complete report on the weekend will follow from our own PAGB Awards Officer, Andy Hanson.

Another Day of Stimulating Images

The World of Colour event on Sunday 7^th March following the Annual General Meeting was another afternoon of stimulating images. Varied Audio Visual sequences from Ian Bateman FRPS MPAGB covering humour, documentary subjects, music, poetry and amongst other subjects. One sequence lasted exactly 4 minutes, 8½ seconds about the measurement 4 feet 8½ inches – a very witty sequence – those who saw it will never see the World in the same way again!. If you were not there you will now be left wondering just what you missed and what it was all about!!

Copyright Legislation

The Royal Photographic Society has expressed grave concern over the implications of proposals to amend copyright legislation presently being dabated in the House of Lords. See their news article on the RPS web site at http://www.rps.org/news/story/148

The RPS has recently released a statement that gives some further clarification about this bill though they still express their concern about the lack of detail in the present proposals.

At the EAF AGM held on Sunday 7^th March 2010 at the Latton Bush Centre, Harlow, Malcom Tinn took over the role of EAF President from Mrs Naomi Saul. Malcolm said that he felt privileged to be the EAF President in it's centenary year. The new President-Elect was announced as Mrs Sue Dobson APAGB.

Annual General Meeting

The EAF AGM took place on Sunday 7^th March 2010 at the Latton Bush Centre, Harlow. The agenda had been previously circulated to all clubs. The highlights of the event included the customary reports and the installation of Malcolm Tinn as President (see article above). For the first time, there was a report from the Webmaster - David Steel has now taken over this role from Tony Sweet and as he is also a member of the Executive Committee, it was appropriate that he should take the floor and describe some of the new changes brought about by the new Web site.

Your Federation's 100th Birthday

There is very little time left to get your club memories included in the EAF Souvenir Celebration.

Over the past five editions of the Bulletin we have been calling for member clubs to provide information covering the last 100 years of photography in the East Anglian Region.
