Also got one approved today pretty quickly for next week (website said they wanted 7 days notice but they replied pretty quick) hopefully weather holds out. Although he did have a slight grumble that it involves 3 hours worth of paperwork! :man_shrugging:

Thanks Sam, the leaderboard will be updated sometime after the Archers finish :slight_smile:

Can we remind all competitors that , although we really appreciate well-composed videos and photos, your primary task is to show the subjects that have been requested.

So, if it’s a picture of an isolated church please don’t crop it so we can’t determine that fact without having to fire up Google Earth. Similarly if we ask for 12 arches of a viaduct please make it obvious there are at least twelve.:slight_smile:

Rant over
