Annual Photo Comp and Annual Mileages

The Jan/Feb issue of the Sou'Wester contained a reminder about the annual photographic competition and also the submission of annual mileages.
Everybody is invited to submit the total mileage they have cycled in the 12 months from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013. That is not just on CTC rides but everything, including shopping and wobbling back from the pub. There is no obligation, but it is interesting for the Club to be able to say how many miles our members ride each year. The link on the website also enables you to see how your annual mileage may vary from year to year. Mileages, however modest, can be sent to me at or after midnight on New Year's Eve. The rider with the greatest increase over the previous year will even get a gong.
The simple rules are: 
2. The highest annual mileage (Jan 1st - Dec 3lst)
 2.1. by a male rider.
 2.2. by a female rider.
A chart showing mileages reliably recorded by a meter or map measurer on a weekly basis will be required as proof for an award winning entry. Estimates may be given and accepted if it can be shown to the Section or DA Secretary and the Awards Sub-Committee that the basis for an estimate is reliable.
 I think that a Garmin or Cateye would count as a 'meter'.

The annual photographic competition is for photos taken within the year from 1st October 2012 to 30th September 2013. The rules for the photo competition are set out below. Please note that the photos must be real and not virtual, despite it now being so easy to send them by email, Twitter, Facebook etc. They will be displayed at the annual lunch and prize presentation at Prezzo on 5 March 2014. 
6. Photographic Competition:
A print or slide showing bicycle or other indication of cycling association.

  • 6.1. Person (male) or people
  • 6.2. Person (female) or people
  • 6.3. Action
  • 6.4. Scenery/landscape
  • 6.5. Building/buildings
  • 6.6. Humorous or funny
    The award for a winning photograph will be given to the photographer who took the picture, not to the model. Prints, in black and white or colour, may he up to 7" x 5" maximum or in any APS format. The photographer's name, the category, and a short caption should be provided.
Judging: A Sub-Committee of three will be appointed annually from the members of the DA Committee.
For all parts of the Competition the Sub-Committee's decision will be final

 The judging panel has not yet been appointed, but you are welcome to send entries to me to pass on to the  panel.
