Competition :

The annual competition runs from January to December. The winner of each category will be awarded with a shield on which their name will be engraved. The shield will be awarded at the December meeting. The members will hold them until the following year.

The competition is supervised by Steve Jamieson.

The current year cup will be awarded to the member who has achieved the highest number of points in any of the three categories. 

The Committee will determine the subjects for the monthly competition and announce these in advance to the members.

• Members must complete an entry form to go along with their entry-these will be available on the competition table each month.
• All entries will be anonymous, and be identified on the entry form only by the member's Membership Number.
• All entries must be the original work of the member.
• No entry may be submitted twice-whether in a different category or in a subsequent year.

There will be three categories : NOVICES--INTERMEDIATE--ADVANCED

• The winner in each of the categories will receive a certificate. In addition, a prize will be awarded every month to the winner of the Novice category. Certificates and prizes will be presented on the night.
• Members may elect to compete in the next higher category at any time-but points already accrued in the current year will be surrendered.

Each entry will be assed by the judges against the following attributes :

1. Overall appearance/design
2. Tool work
3. Surface finish

Points :

Competition points will be awarded in each category as follows : 1st. 6 points/ 2nd. 4 points/ 3rd. 2 points/ unplaced 1 point.

A running total of the number of points each member has accumulated will be placed on the notice board every month showing their progression. Members who achieve a total of 25 points or more in their current category will automatically progress to the next category at the start of the following year. All points will be reset to zero in January.
