On Tuesday 14 November 2023, we competed in a 4-way inter-club competition. This event has been in place for a number of years but has not taken place since before Covid. The 4 clubs involved were: St Ives PC, St Neots CC, Swavesey CC and EPC, and the event was hosted by St. Ives. The competition involves each club submitting 8 Prints and 8 PDIs with each being marked out of 20, and the club with the highest aggregate score is the winner. The Judge was Colin Mill from Milton Keynes, and the scores were very close at the top, with similar scores by EPC and St. Neots. St Neots scored three maximum 20s against our two, and were declared the winner.
On 13 November 2023, Ely Photographic Club participated in the Pat Goode Memorial Shield competition, where ten clubs each entered four print and four pdi images. The event was hosted by Wisbech and District Camera Club at Wisbech Football Club. The judge for the evening was Richard Houghton.
EPC did not score as highly as we would have hoped, and did not do as well as we have in other recent inter-club competitions, coming eighth overall. The standard of work was extremely high, and the competition was won by PICO (Photographic Image Cooperative).

Long-standing members of the Club will remember Rita Bickell, who was a stalwart of the club for many years, and who was the first person that many new members would get to know as she would always meet and greet them when they came to our meetings.
Ely Photographic Club are saddened to hear that Rita passed away in hospital in September, and our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
On Wednesday 18th October we will be holding our first print competition this season, and the 59 prints submitted for this will be judged on the night by Jonathan Vaines. Entrants must submit their prints as soon after 7pm as possible, please, with 7.15pm as the deadline. We are looking forward to an enjoyable evenings judging at the club – good luck to everyone!
The new digital information boards installed by VisitEly around the city have now gone live, and Ely Photographic Club has provided a number of local images of the City and the Cathedral, in exchange for publicity for our club. The images can be viewed on the new boards, and we hope will generate public interest in our photography.
Now that the club season is over we are arranging a number of club outings over the summer which are open to members, and details of these are being circulated. We look forward to seeing some of you at these events.
The new club season will start on 20 September 2023, and we hope you will join us for another varied and interesting programme of events then.
