Success for Phil Clegg LRPS

Today 1st July 2009 Phil became the latest member to achieve a Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society at thier headquarters in Bath. Phil and his partner Sue, Tony and Peter witnessed the 3 minutes or so that it took the panel of 5 judges to declare that Phil Clegg is a Licentiate of the RPS. Congratulations to him.
Below are some of his photos but it is better to see them by clicking HERE

Congratulations to Tony

Tony has managed to gain the CPAGB distinction last weekend.
He had to enter 10 prints and had to score an average of 20 or more out of 30 points as judged by 6 judges. This is to reduce any judges bias.
So now Tony has achieved both the LRPS and the CPAGB within jst 2 months. Many congratulations.

Success for Tony

On Wednseday 21st January Tony asked Sheila and I to accompany him to the Royal Photographic Society headquarters in Bath to witness his Licentiateship assessment.
He called for us at 7.30am! On a frosty morning drove to Bath and arrived far too early at 8.50am. So we hung around drinking coffee until 10.30am. Then we went upstairs and the show began. First we had panels submitted by CD. Few of these passed. Then we went on to print panels and very few failed. Moral: use prints for a panel and not a CD. One of those passing was Tony's panel. He made it look so easy! We all clapped and cheered. Tony was on a high for the rest of the day and even on to today! He keeps grinning from ear to there!

So members let your Chairman's success be an inspiration to you. Just get out take the photos and print them and get your RPS Distinction.
