On Thursday 4 April 2024 Bury St Edmunds Photographic Society hosted the annual inter-club competition. Nine clubs submitted 7 PDI images each, which were judged by Ken Payne.

The event was won by Cambridge Camera Club with 135 points, and Ely were second with 131 points, a great achievement considering that Cambridge have four times as many members as Ely, so this was a brilliant result for us. (We used seven different authors for our seven entries, too.)

Thanks to BSEPS for hosting a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and well done to Cambridge CC too! read more

On Thursday 21 March we hosted a friendly competition against Kings Lynn and District Camera Club, which is becoming a regular annual event. Each club submitted 30 PDI images each, which were judged by Jim Bennett. In a thoroughly enjoyable and closely-fought competition, Ely Photographic Club narrowly came out on top with 544 points, only one point ahead of Kings Lynn – near the end of the evening the scores were actually all square at one stage, so it could not have been closer!

Well done to all of the members who contributed to such a great evening, and we look forward to repeating the event next year. For a full list of the individual scores from the evening, please click on the scoresheet link here. read more
