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
