GRADING
Now that the Annual Exhibition is over we have reached a point where photographers grades will be assessed and new grades allocated for the coming season. The Grading process will be completed before the end of August as the deadline for entries for the Summer Competition is the 5th Sept. The regrading of photographers will be decided by a designated panel of assessors. Photographers will be asked to submit eight prints (mono - colour or both) to the adjudication panel and a new grade will be allocated based on that assessment. Rules about Grading will be emailed to all members in the coming days and then will be on the club website. Further information next week as to when the assessments will be held.
BEGINNERS COURSES
Every year Dublin Camera Club runs photographic courses for Beginners. The next course commences in September and the club is currently seeking participants. The fees from this course are a vital source of revenue for DCC. If anybody knows of a person interested in learning photography and getting value for money please let them know about our course.
