2020 Calendar

The PHPC Calendar for 2020 is now available on our website on the Club Rules and Documents page.  The electronic calendar has also been updated.

We have a very busy year ahead! The calendar includes a list of photographic competitions, their topics and their definitions.  The presentations and outings have dates but the details are still being worked on by the Committee and will be announced in due course.

Note: The electronic calendar is on the left pane of our website’s home page.  There is a link (a WiFi symbol that says “Add”) that presents a drop-down list with options to import or link the calendar to your personal electronic calendar.  Once linked, any changes we make should be automatically updated in your personal electronic calendar.

The Competition Rules for 2020 have also been re-published. They have not changed from the end of 2019 (except for the calendar year).

The Club Rules and Documents page also includes the final 2019 competition points table. The link to the awards night photos will appear later.
