I sometimes wonder if some members are intimidated by the standard of some others. Or think, I could never do that or take a picture like that. That is why in my Photography club days we always had a beginners section and a separate beginners competition. Once you had won a round in that - you had to join the seniors. Beginners could enter either competition, but seniors could only enter the senior one. We already have a group of Seniors who have won either the weekly comp, monthly comp and POTW. Just an idea and I'm very aware of the extra work this may place on our unsung heroes, the moderators and admin staff so the decision has to be theirs. Perhaps a couple of Competition only Mods could be found to help? Just thinking out loud in print but it would be sad to loose the competitions. I cannot help thinking about the last meeting I arranged, when no one turned up - I had a good time but it would have been nice to meet others as I have done on past occasions. PS I'm trying to arrange another under Never say die on the meetings thread.
