Saturday 4th September 2010
Twenty nine WCPF members attended the workshop with the opportunity of having their pictures assesed for the forthcoming PAGB adjudications. Rod Wheelans who is the chairman of the PAGB adjudications system came down from Scotland together with Anne Greiner to offer advice on the PAGB distinctions.
Ian Platt, Barry Mead and Pete McCloskey who are recognised National and International judges assisted with the day.

A further thirty WCPF members came along to observe the criteria of achieving distinctions at various levels.
After Rod explained in detail the structure of these distinctions, which began in 1995, the members were broken up into four groups for one to one advice. This proved beneficial to those who are about to submit work on the next adjudications. For more details on the requirements to enter, click here.
This event was very well organised by Di Tilsley, PAGB Awards secretary.

2009 AGM
 The 2009 link.AGM.5500 took place at Clyst St Mary, Devon and was well supported.
The only changes to the committee this year were Paul Kessler LRPS as Treasurer. Carol Wilson who stood down as treasurer will shadow the role of Kingswood Salver and Knightshayes trophy secretary until such time as Brian Galbraith becomes President in 2010. Ross Haxton is also shadowing as Directory secretary until the next AGM.
There is still one very important role to fill and that is of General Secretary. We urgently require someone to fill this position and are sure that from the 3500+ members from the 98 clubs there must be one person who would be willing to come forward. Please use our 'contact us' page.
