Southern Counties Photographic Federation – Inter club competitions:
These competitions are divided into leagues of 8 clubs. A set of images is supplied by each club to a central competition management and then each club arranges an indepen22-23 Open-Printdent judge for the images to be scored. From this scoring a league table is produced.
SCPF Print League Div 2
A message from Madi Brookman, External Competitions Secretary:
“I am really pleased to let you know that our Club has done exceptionally well in the Division 2 Print League by coming top of the table. We will, therefore, be promoted to Division 1 along with Highcliffe & Infinity Photography Club. Look out Division 1, here we come!!”

The top scoring prints from both the Leagues are put forward to take part in Finals Day, and Jan Derrett’s image “Flight or Fight” has been selected for the PDI, and Jacqui Dracup’s Print image “Dawn Flight” for the Print. Well done to both of you.
 Jan Derrett’s PDI image “Flight or Fight” |  Jacqui Dracup’s image “Dawn Flight” |
So…. We have a lot to do to maintain our standing in both the Leagues. Division 1 for Prints is going to be tough as we will be with the best of the Southern Counties, and at the same time we must make sure that we have an improved placing next year in the PDI league, or even aim for promotion to Division 2!
