Dear Camera Club Official,
As a courtesy I thought I'd let you know that I've added your camera club to our useful links page under CAMERA CLUBS: UK - there is no charge for this.
photoenter.com is a fairly new, UK based photo competition website. We host two competitions each week that have small cash prizes. Namely: Editor's Choice which is a professionally judged competition without any voting. Viewer's Vote has an automated online voting system and it is free to enter and the most popular photo tends to win in this category.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
08/02/2009 Further to recent discussions at meetings as to what our rights are as photographers. Click here to navigate to a website where you can download a pdf copy of a 2 page A4 guide to our rights. Also a petition was submitted to 10 Downing Street requesting clarification of the the laws surrounding photography in a public place. Click here to view the petition and the government's response.

18/12/2008 I have got rid of the empty Gallery Slides Page and substituted it with a page featuring the work of Nick Greaves. This may be repeated if other members find it interesting or maybe want to appear there at a later date! See Here.
17/12/2008 One of our new members Ian Meek now has his own website. It is well worth a look there are lots of excellent photographs to see. Click Here
16/11/2008 Thankyou to Alan Marsden for supplying four of his award winning images from last seasons annual competition. See them on the Gallery Digital & Gallery Prints pages. If any other members have Diploma or Certificate of Merit winning images from the annual competition i will be happy to post them on the website. If possible could you email them to me as attachments. The same resolution we use to project digital images will be fine. I especially need something to put on the Gallery Slides page. I have the facility to scan your slides if you wish to bring them to a meeting.
12/11/2008 I am pleased to announce Scarborough Photographic Society won the 3 way battle with Malton & Kirkbymoorside clubs. The scores were, from a possible maximum of 300. Scarborough 283.5 points, Kirkbymoorside 268.5 points and Malton 260 points. It was a very enjoyable evening and the standard of work from all the participants was very high.
22/10/2008 Firstly i would like to congratulate the winners and runners up in our first monthly competition of this season. Thankyou to everyone who entered. The standard was very high and whilst no slides were entered they were lots of prints and digital entries. For the results 1st to 3rd and in a couple of days, to view the winning shots click here.
We had another very well attended evening, i think someone counted 43 people were present. It is becoming difficult to squeeze everyone comfortably into the room. Because of this it was decided after the meeting to approach the warden with a view to move back to the big room. It will have bookings some nights but whenever it is free we will meet there. This has been possible due to the many new members that have joined us this year. Fingers crossed we may be in the big room next week for Donald Neasham's show "Its a Monochrome World". I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
16/10/2008 We have had another successful meeting. The room was bulging at the seams. Thanks to Helen Murtagh for giving us a very informative show on Photoshop Elements. Hope you all were taking notes! One of our members has supplied a local picture that St Catherines Hospice has turned into a christmas card. These are available to view & purchase using the link below. Following feedback from a member i have repaired some links on the site. Please inform me if you have any further problems. I can be contacted by email from the homepage.
10/10/2008 Thanks to Ken for supplying two of his pictures for the prints page. If any other members have digital files of your competition winners from last season. I will be happy to post them on this site. You can email them to me. The ideal size is about 800 x 600 saved as the highest quality jpeg. Talking of competitions we need your entries for the open monthly competition this coming Wednesday.
01/10/2008 It is the opening night of our new season. Our guest Richard Fuller is giving us what promises to be an excellent show.
25/09/2008 It has come to my attention (ok it was in the Evening News) that two of our members have photos in the 2009 Saint Catherine's Hospice Calendar.
