what is going to happen for POTW....can we get something organized so we at least have something in place for next year...I am happy to go with Gidders' idea....how does everyone else feel about it?

I wish you all good luck for the future, and I hope you find someone to steer this ship. Keep those shutter working everyone!

Steve...:)

Let's go with Gidder's plan. It'll be interesting to refine the process.

Ok Guys I look at setting something up with some operational guidelines & a rota over the next day or so & well see if we can get it going again from next week :)

Ok Guys - here's my proposal of how it will work

1. We will have a rota of POTW Selectors - we currently have

   Me - Gidders - Clive
   Graham Harcombe
   Tugboat - Trena
   Gordon G
   postcardcv - Peter
   is there anyone else that wants to take a turn?

2. Sample rota <<<HERE>>> - everyone to please diarise their turns.
3. If you are unable to manage any date for any reason - please pm all the other PTOW Selectors requesting a volunteer to pick up that date & update the rota
4. POTW be chosen from all the photos posted in the gallery from 00.01 Sunday through to 24.00 Saturday GMT
5. The person who's turn it is makes their choice on Sunday/Monday
6. Start a new thread 'POTW - dd month yyyy'
7. Quote the title of your chosen image & the name of the member who posted it
8. Give an explanation of why the particular image has been chosen. This can be brief eg. 'I liked the colours' or 'good use of dof' or as detailed as the Selector wants.
9. Post the winning image in the thread see <<<HERE>>> for instructions
10. Check the rota & PM the next POTW Selector reminding them that its their turn next week

Let me know if you think I've missed anything or if anything needs modifying at all. We can always revist the process in the light of experience.

Please also check that you can access the links for the rota & instructions & that they make sense.

Cheers

Well done Clive, looks like a pretty sound basis.

well done Clive

Let's do it! Can I suggest we each PM the person following us in the rota when we have done our week, just as a reminder?

See step 10 above. ;)

Doh....!
Thanks Clive.
