First Results from 2013 NCPF Annual Competitions
Subject to ratification we are able to announce the headline results from this year's 2013 NCPF Annual Competitions. Once the full details are available from the Competitions Sub-Committee we will as usual publish the full results including our "Gallery of Award Winners".
This years Judges were, Peter Young AFIAP CPAGB APAGB (MCPF), Bob Collins AFIAP (SPF) Simon Allen MPAGB EFIAP (NCPF) and for the Beginners, Jim Welsh LRPS CPAGB, (NCPF). They had the unenviable task of selecting the trophy winners from amongst thousands of entries as well as marking them all.
We thank them for their efforts along with the selectors from our own Federation who then went on to select our entries into the various PAGB Alliance Competitions and for the Selectors' Choice Portfolios.

Congratulations to all those who met with success and our thanks to everybody else who entered for ensuring a successful and rewarding competition. Finally we must also offer a sincere vote of thanks to our Competitions Organiser, Malcolm Kus and his team of officers and volunteers.
NB:- Every effort is being made to return Print entries to clubs as soon as possible, but his may take some time. Also please be aware that there may be a number of entries retained as either, a) they have been selected for the Alliance Competitions or, b) they are required for copying for one of the two NCPF Portfolios. Again these will be returned to clubs as soon as practicable.
