Congratulations to Rolls-Royce Derby Photographic Society who came second in the final round of the PAGB Inter-Club PDI Championship 2026 held at Warwick on the 19th of July. They lost to Chorley Photographic Society of the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union by a single point. Derby City Photographic Club finished =9th out of the 38 clubs in the Plate Competition for those not qualifying for the final after the first two rounds. Ilkeston Photo 2000 finished =20th, three points behind Derby City, with Beeston Camera Club finishing =31st just two points behind Ilkeston. Congratulations to them all for qualifying to represent N&EMPF and doing as well as they did against such strong competition. With Rolls-Royce Derby Photographic Society (yet again) making it to the final they will automatically qualify for next year's championship, leaving room for three more clubs to qualify to join them based on next year's N&EMPF Inter-Club PDI Championship.
After two years of CFH (Competing from Home) we now feel that we able to compete in person, we hope that you agree with this decision and look forward to seeing you all again.
The purpose of the competition is two fold – to find the Champion N&EMPF Club, and the two clubs to represent the federation in the PAGB National PDI Championships at Warwick University on 15th July. The competition will be held at Arnold Leisure Centre, on Sunday 5th March, starting at 1.45pm and there will be an admission charge of £3 to cover expenses. The AGM is at the same venue in the morning and admission to that is, of course, free. This Open competition is held each July and each federation nominates 2 clubs to take part alongside the finalists from the previous year. This year it was judged with an audience of about 200.
The judges were:
There were 35 clubs taking part—the 3 who represented N&EMPF this year were Bolsover CC, Nottingham and Notts PS, and Rolls-Royce Derby PS. After the qualifying rounds Bolsover CC were in 15th position, while Nottingham and Notts PS were 6th and Rolls-Royce Derby PS were 2nd—taking both of them into the final round which, including ties for 8th place, featured10 clubs. Rolls-Royce Derby PS went on to gain equal 1st place in the final round, tied with Wigan 10 Foto Club, 9 points ahead of Nottingham and Notts PS who took 3rd place. Bolsover CC came 8th in the plate competition, a credible 18th overall. Congratulations to all three clubs. Please click here for more information or click here to see images. Many thanks to all of the clubs who entered this PDI competition. It was held on Zoom this year and the three judges were Barbara Jenkins, Roy Lambeth and Clive Tanner.
Congratulations to Rolls-Royce Derby PS who took first place, Nottingham and Notts in second place and Bolsover CC third. |
