Sat 09/08/2025 Hand-in for Annual Exhibition PDI’s
Fri 15/08/2025 Annual Exhibition (the Quartet theme – Patterns in Nature)
Sat 16/08/2025 Ditto
Our annual exhibition will run alongside that of the Lutterworth “Stitchers” in the Methodist Church. Together, the exhibitions will promote the undoubted creative talent within the town. There are three trophies at stake, the George Hunt trophy for the best PDI, the Ray Needham trophy for the best Print, and the Quartet Trophy for a set of small prints on a chosen theme. For our part, the exhibition requires a big effort, to make the pictures, to put up and take down the displays and also to be on hand to talk to members of the public during the exhibition. I’m sure we will be up for it.
03/09/2025 Review of member’s exhibition PDI entries
We could each have entered up to 8 PDIs in last month’s annual exhibition, yet we rarely get to talk about them among ourselves. We’ll aim to put this right tonight.

17/09/2025 Cheney & Single Print Competitions
This is the premier print competition night in our calendar. There are four trophies to be won tonight and although it’s not exactly a lottery, it is true that “you’ve got to be in it to win it” so, good luck. To enter the Cheney Trophy comp. you’ll need a set of six prints (any two of which must be monochrome). The entries must illustrate 3 topics of your choice, (two prints to each topic) and be designed to show competency across multiple fields of photography. In addition to the Cheney Trophy comp, there are three single print competitions, one each for Colour, Mono and a recently taken Mono Landscape.
