          Club battle across the Oceans                           •  2024-02-10 – 12th AFO National Digital Salon
          On Monday 13th November we will be joining the Kirkcaldy   (Brochure available).
          Photographic Society, based in Kirkcaldy, a town in Fife,
          Scotland,  via  Zoom  for  a  competition  evening.  It  will  be
          hosted this year by KPS.
          Each club has selected 25 images from 25 members and
          an external judge will score the images. The scores will be
          added up at the end and the winner declared. This is the
          third year in a row that we are having the event, and it is an
          opportunity for the two clubs to see each other’s work.
           It is a fun evening, and we get to see what people on the
          other side of the world think of our images. CTPS has won
          the Battle across the Oceans for the past two years and we
          hope to repeat the win again this year. Last year the image
          Its a heavy load by Peter Turnbull (right) received the highest
          score, namely 29 out of 30.
          A zoom invitation will be sent out via Snapshot closer to the time.
