As we have quite a few members with new puppies, I thought it might be good to remind you that as well as running the Seasonal Monthly Comp, we also run a Puppy Competition which will be closing at the end of this month. You can see the categories and the rules by clicking on the sub heading Monthly Photocomps under the Photo Gallery link in the navigation bar.

The winners of the categories will be judged by Nick Ridley at the end of July,  and the three he places 1st, 2nd and 3rd will then go into the overall competition with the monthly seasonal winners.  Nick has very kindly donated a first prize to the overall winner of a free photo sitting to be taken in Buckinghamshire!!! I think you will agree this is an excellant prize, and we are most grateful to Nick for donating it. He will be judging the competition at the end of September.

Good luck to all who enjoy capturing those moments.....:)

Following on from this post............firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to the Judges of the Puppy Comp, Andy and Fiona, and Julie and Darren and last but not least, my other half, for giving me their selections so promptly.

You will see I have been busy on the admin front ( I won't say how long it took me!!!) and have now created three albums you can link to directly from the Photo Gallery button in the Navigation Bar.

They are Monthly Winners, Monthly Runners Up and Puppy Comp Winners

I will be contacting Nick Ridley to ask him to select the winning picture from the Puppy Comp winners, and the chosen picture will be on the front cover of the 2011 Calendar.

Congratulations to all the Puppy Winners and Runners Up!!!

congratulations to all the lucky winners.....

and I must say the gallery looks great rachel how many hours did that take ? 

Yes Rach, it must have taken ages, poor you - at least you haven't got your paintbrush out... 

Well done Rach, I don't think people understand how long it takes to administer a site like this!!
