Our 2026 Convention will be an 'in-person' event and will be held in Scotland.

We will be holding our usual one frame competition as part of the 2025 event. The entry form for this can be found here.

The rules governing this competition are slightly relaxed this year as we will not have to mount the entries on frames. This will allow entries comprising sheet sizes different to the A4/ Letter size norm provided the total amount of the entry is the equivalent of 16 A4 sheets.
