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.

There were 37 clubs taking part and the 3 clubs who represented N&EMPF this year were Deepings CC, Newark & District PS and Rolls Royce Derby PS and they all did really well. After the qualifying rounds Newark & District were in 10th position, Deepings CC were 17th and Rolls Royce Derby PS in 1st place - taking them into the final round of 8 clubs. Rolls Royce Derby PS then went on to gain the 1st place in the final round, winning by 7 points, a remarkable achievement and the only time that a N&EMPF club has done this. Congratulations to all three clubs and to David Keep who won the Gold Medal for the best image in the competition with 'Reverse Pike'.

A record 25 clubs took part, for which the Federation extends a big thank you for their support. 159 people signed in via Zoom, which is more than normally attend at Arnold. The competition was deliberately designed to be different from previous years so lacked the frantic choosing of images after Round 1 and the atmosphere in the Hall, but as nobody new the results there was still some tension.
We would like to thank the three judges: Jenny Hibbert (Wales), Peter Paterson (Scotland) and Glyn Edmunds (Hayling Island) who did an excellent job judging and scoring 16 images with maximum marks of 15. Glen was able to attend the showing of the images for which we were delighted. Congratulations to Rolls-Royce (Derby) PS for winning and to David Thompson (Bolsover CC) for getting the best individual award. More details can be found here. |
