Covid has scuppered a lot of plans for this season but the Lochmaben Trophy will go ahead - albeit as a PDI competition with online voting. Details will follow.
The President's Challenge this year is "Close to Home.' Photos (up to three PDI) can be landscapes, still life, portraits, nature - taken in your home, your garden, at a local attraction etc. The only restriction is they must be taken in Dumfries and Galloway and convey something of your or our home. It's a wide remit so let your imagination run free.
