[Mick]

Come on you members we need more of you to enter your photos in the competitions
its only a bit of fun you don't need to be a professional photographer or expert .
all you need is a camera or even a mobile phone with a camera on and you can enter

[Mick]

Uploads for anyone entering will close tonight about 10pm ish

[Mick]

Good luck to all that entered

[Mick]

Last few hours to vote come on we only have 8 votes so far

god this is like pulling teeth to get members to participate in anything on here

if there is not a marked increase in uploads and voting in the next 2 months I am thinking of calling it a day with these competitions
just wasting my time

Totally agree Mick, thanks for your efforts so far.

[davemac]

I wouldn't say it is wasting your time, although the contributions have been on the disappointing side, and I understand if you feel the number entering, and those voting, doesn't warrant the competition running anymore. Your efforts have been appreciated by those entering and looking at the photos, and if you do think it is time to pack it in, we all will understand and thank you for at least giving it a go.
So an open question, those of you that have cameras, why don't you enter a snap?

[hassy rvr]

I have a camera and a mobile but don,t know how to upload pics I get enjoyment looking at everyone else,s and always vote, so even though I don,t enter I would miss it if it came to an end.

[Mick]

Right this competition is now closed and the winner is :Margaret Pilkington

[davemac]

Well done Mrs. P.
