5. Can we take pictures in adjoining counties? Or even further afield?

So many questions! It is worth 'sorting out the rules' as early as possible as the contest look set to be a regular challenge though.

If Mungo doesn't mind me having a say - my answers would be;
1. Yes,
2. Best posted here for all to enjoy.
3. Not sure what would be easiest!?
4. How long should each contest be? 2-3 weeks + a week for voting perhaps?
5. Yes, and Yes!

Roy.

Hi CC

Thank you, Granny's Bonnet it is then.

Roy, feel free to make suggestions, (that goes for all members)

We'll leave the voting until the end of the month, this will enable members plenty of time to get out there and get their shots.

So we have:
1. Can we post all recent pictures? - Yes
2. Do we try and put them into the Social Group section? I think we should post them here until we get notification from the mods.
3. If we leave them here, are we having a poll? do you think we should open a new thread for each month and add a poll? I think if we do this, members should make ONE post with all three of their entries, because it is so difficult to find entries with them all over the place - what do you guys think?

Any thing else?

Mungo, I thought I would volunteer my services. Just before voting starts, I'll gather all pictures together into one or two posts, and put a "code" next to each. Then people can choose their top three, and simply write down the codes, as first, second and third. What do you think?

[Mungo]

Yes, yes, yes Hedgie go for it and thanks

[cutecoot]

Sounds good, guys

Dammit! Looks like its going to be raining for a few days now, and didn't get a chance to get out and take any photos yesterday Oh well, nevermind, plenty of time yet

Hi all

I agree with everything that has been said howver I would add one suggestion that we try to synchronise the competition with the calender month. This will make it easy for us to remember what we are doing. To achieve this it may mean that this month needs to be slightly shorter. Well done Hedgie sounds like a good suggestion.

Good suggestions all round, including Roy's last one about a short month.

Hi

I am member of three social groups and I check each for new messages every time I visit the site.

Did you know that: When you open your personal page the social group title comes up in bold when there are new or unread posts.

You can now all finish your dinner after that pearl of wisdom.
