@The Old Ruminator any plans to have another Mendip based photo competition?
I am still waiting for the prize that I won. A pair of kneepads. It really died a death I suppose. Anyway they know that I would splodge photos all over it. Lost heart I guess. Basically it was a lot of work for the organisers. Venue, presentation boards, acquiring images. It worked quite well at Cheddar as it was open for the public to see. I put up mega collages of FCQ . It needs It needs a team to organise or a club so could be resurrected I guess.
 
The reason it stopped was that I found I was doing everything virtually and being an hour from Mendip made things doubly difficult. I still have a number of competition prints in my possession if anybody wants them back!
