The second place we gained this week is our best achievement in these well-supported competitions (we gained a third about 10 years back) but we are often in the top ten. Might we have won with a different judge? Probably not, since Chorley are on a high at present, with an ample number of successful […]

Print Annual 2016 – Robert Millin DPAGB EFIAP/g EP
We were privileged to have Rob Millin with us to judge the annual print competition. Robert has been remarkably successful in national and international competitions as his distinctions attest and he is well used to picking the winners, he also knew that all the work had been judged before and so he made quite quick […]
L&CPU Annual Individuals’ Competition 2016
The L&CU competition which we entered in February was the CLUB ANNUAL, but next we have the ANNUAL INDIVIDUALS’ competition where you as members select your own work to enter. It is a chance to see how your work does in front of three PAGB judges compared to work entered by members of all the […]
John Holt ARPS DPAGB BPE4 – Digital AVs
Though we would claim to be far from competition driven at Crewe we certainly seem to be in the thick of them at the moment, with the L&CPU Annuals and our own Annuals, not to mention the competition with Sandbach and the North Cheshire Challenges. So, it was such a pleasure to sit back and […]
March’s monthly theme is ‘When Colour Matters’
The monthly theme for March gives you plenty of scope to use your imagination to experiment with colours. While to many colours can cause confusion, the use of few can be easier to control and be more effective. The subject matter is open, it’s just the clever use of colour that we’re looking for.

Repairing Old Photographs – George Steele LRPS CPA
Family photographs, lovingly passed around, kept in wallets, displayed in bright light, often end up in a parlous state, faded, cracked, creased and stained. Digital photography of course provides the possibility of recovery and repair, and with patience and skill they can even look better that they did originally. George has acquired great skill over […]
Meeting 4 February 2016
Thanks to Dave & Sharon Barton who organised the viewing of some Photographers Academy tutorials this week. We also took the time to discuss a number of matters, some of which will be the subject of announcements in the near future.
Crewe – Mid-Cheshire – Whitchurch Inter-Club Compe
I’ve often thought that the opportunity of meeting our neighbouring club members and seeing their work is the enjoyable part of these competitions. To me at least, who wins is of secondary importance. This view was bourne out last night when the judge, Peter Siviter DPAGB EFIAP, didn’t manage to make it. We still had […]
