The Club aims to take part in a number of external events annually. A Selection Committee choose the Club's entries from images previously entered into the Club's internal competitions. This is why it is very important that members take part in Internal Competitions, both to gain experience and to increase the range of images available to the Selection Committee.
The Club appoints an External Competitions Secretary who will liaise with external bodies and is available to advise Members.
