I am reliably informed that Sunday 5th January was International Volunteer Day so there is no better time to thank each and every one of you for all you have done – voluntarily, for our WPF Clubs during 2021.
It has been another difficult year and once again we are very grateful for Zoom which has kept so many clubs up and running. I know that many of you have judged and/or presented via Zoom to clubs across the country (or even further afield) which we would not have dreamed possible a few years ago.
It is very encouraging to see that some face to face meetings are being reintroduced, however we understand that this is not an option everyone will feel comfortable about just yet. I have been asked (but declined) to produce a list of Judges and Presenters who are prepared to offer their services face to face. This is very much a personal decision and will vary greatly depending on the venue, number of attendees etc. etc. and most importantly the health and safety of the Judge/Presenter. Whatever your decision, we will respect your personal choice.
Once again, on behalf of the Welsh Photographic Federation, thank you all.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a hopeful, healthy and happy New Year.
Susan Surridge (WPF Judges & Presenters Secretary).
