Isn't this Foxy territory? Not this time, as Stabby complained there were too many rules last year when I volunteered. Ironic, then, that Stabbers has made up his own rules!

Only 3 rules, do keep up, one of which we are cancelling, "No Stabby Pics". Otherwise reasonable rules, hardly a whiff of control freakery. Easy for all to comply with and remember.

Just need to take a decent pic now 😀 Or why not just dig out one from 25 yesrs ago, or one that we have already seen a few times? My rules for last year included that the photo should be one taken within 2018, something fresh and, so far, unpublished anywhere, so that the entries would be fresh and new and something to look forward to. This was deemed so Draconian that no such competition took place, and Jenlyn stepped in to Save The Day with his own free-for-all.

Ross, your rules were full of "Mustn't this" and "Mustn't that" ..... This isn't a competition in "what Camera magazine" or the like, it's a snap competition between a group of friends. We don't need (or want) a list of competition rules such as you delight in ...... just a couple of basic guidelines to keep it fair is quite sufficient

Mr Stabby, we all know you're a knife wielding, Yorkie chomping, funky moped riding, latex loving, misery, but credit where it's due, you're the man for the job. It looks like there's no objections to you submitting an entry if you wish. Thanks for offering to run it. I'm sorry naughtyfox has proved slightly out of step on this, but it's not personal on this occasion. Rog

Thanks for the support and comments. As for not entering the competition myself, as much as anything it's because my laptop failed towards the end of this year's trip and so was replaced, but all of this year's cruising photos were downloaded onto the old laptop and although they can probably be recovered by someone with the technical skills, I won't have time to arrange this, or to get out and take more pics, now that we are in the busiest time of year work-wise.

Prize your old laptop open with your knife, fish out the hard drive, get a usb hard drive enclosure (box in driverspeak) and away you go, access to all the files on your old hard drive. Then wipe what you don't need, all the old windows stuff, and you have spare storage for backup.

I'll have to pick a photo from the year's travels as, like others here, my boating is done until 2020.
It's only a bit of fun after all.

Heres another vote for mrs tabby organising the competition. I dont think ive taken any photos this year that are worth entering but ill have a look. Ps foxy just let it go, it wasnt just mrs tabby you didnt like all your rules last year, but the majority of members didnt want to play by your rules. Get over it, that is how democracy works.

He's demanding a recount, if that fails then another vote. A non binding opinion poll of course.

I thought the idea was for people to be encouraged and stimulated to keep their eyes open from the start of the competition (or, from the begining of the year) and present something new. My rules were few, and quite sensible and fair.
