2021-2022 Plans
Letter extract from the President of LPS:
During the 2020-2021 season the Society, like most other camera clubs, has had to change the way we do things.
Due to our normal meeting place being closed we moved all our meetings to online Zoom meetings.
Understandably some members chose not to join as Zoom was “not their thing”.
Our next season is due to start on 1st September 2021 and hopefully we will be back at the RAFA Club,
although at present we do not know under what restrictions, and we hope most of our members from last season will rejoin.
It would be very helpful if we could get some idea of who will be joining next season and I would ask all those who are thinking to renew their membership to let either Martin or Paul know so we can get an idea of what our income will be to enable us to plan for lecturers to visit.
Themes for the 2021-2022 Season
Monthly Competiton 1: Macro
Monthly Competiton 2: Reflections
Monthly Competiton 3: Bubbles
Monthly Competiton 4: Black & White
Monthly Competiton 5: People
Internal Competition Secretary
You may remember in a recent letter sent out, two members of the Committee have taken
the decision to stand down from their positions, our Treasurer and Internal Competition Secretary.
Whilst the Treasurer post has now been filled the post of Internal Competition Secretary is still vacant. This simply means we cannot hold internal
competitions at the present moment. Please consider volunteering to support Leyland Photographic Society and filling the post.
Anyone who offers to fill this vacancy would not be left to struggle with the job, Ruth will support you and she has already booked judges for the 2021-2022 season.
If you would like to help please email Paul. Thank you

League Results Table
March 2021 – 3 way PDI battle
Preston vs Chorley vs Leyland
Preston PS held a 3 way “battle” with 2 local photographic societies on the night of the 4th March 2021.
This year there were no prints as the images were restricted to PDIs only and the competition was held using Zoom conferencing.
Overall Result
1st Preston : 381
2nd Leyland : 376
3rd Chorley : 364
Congratulations to Preston on their win and thanks to all 3 clubs for their entries as the resulting evening showed a very high standard of work.
The next “battle” will be held, hopefully in person, at Chorley on Monday March 14th 2022.

2020 Leyland Invitation Photographic Exhibition
Dear All,
Due to the on going Covid19 situation and the uncertainty about when photographic clubs and societies will be able to have face to face meetings,
Leyland PS has had to take the decision not to run the Leyland Invitation Photographic Exhibition this year.
We would like to thank you for your support in the past and hope that we will see you again next year.
Best wishes,
Rob Hume
Leyland PS External Competition Secretary.

Leyland Photographic Society next meeting
A Letter from LPS President President: Martin Sumner president@leylandps.org.uk
To all Members
I hope this message finds you all in good health – to quote an extremely well-used phrase – during these uncertain times.
So, to update you all on the future plans for LPS, the committee has held Zoom meetings the latest of which was yesterday evening, July 29th . We discussed the current situation and, although the RAFA Club has re-opened with meetings limited to 30 people, we took the decision to delay restarting meetings until January next year at the earliest. It was also agreed that the committee would remain unchanged until the end of next season and as a result of this we agreed to accept the role of host for the ICPA until their AGM in October 2021.
The decision not to restart in September was not taken lightly but we hope you will all understand that we do not want to put any of you, or your families, at unnecessary risk. The Committee will meet again early/mid September and at that time we hope to be able to announce the start of digital competitions for members and to confirm dates.
Earlier in the year I asked members to suggest topics for our themed competitions and from the ideas submitted I have chosen the following:
Trees and Forests
Food
Sunset
Monochrome
Flowers
While on the topic of competitions I am delighted to be able to publish the results of our 2019/20 Annual Competition. Congratulations to all mentioned and thanks to Jane Lines for judging the competition. Jane has agreed to come to a meeting once we restart to offer comments and to present awards and certificates.
Stay safe and best wishes,
Martin
