Here’s a reminder that Fleet Pond Society’s Photographic Competition for 2014 was launched in July and has a deadline of 5th January 2015. The theme for this year is ‘Fleeting Moments’.

The overall winning photo for the 2013 competition (with theme ‘Woods, Water & Wildlife’) was awarded to Liza Toth and is displayed above. A full set of winners for 2013 can be found here and, under Pictures, the results from previous years.

Why not give this year’s FPS competition a go?

Please note that there are two other local photographic competitions currently running (with earlier deadlines) where pictures of Fleet Pond would also be eligible:

• The Welcome to Fleet Photography Competition – deadline 10th October 2014.
• The Mackenzie Smith Photography Competition – deadline 1st November 2014.

Whichever ones you enter, we wish you the very best of luck!

Yes, it’s time to get snapping once again!

The winning photos from the 2013 competition can be found here and, under Pictures, the results from previous years.

We look forward to your entries.

The second storey of the new car park at Fleet Station is now open (see above in the background, painted green) and you can get some impressive views of the Pond from there. Here are some example shots. The next time you park there, it’s worth taking a stroll to appreciate the different scenes.
