Cowes Online Photographic Competition

Calling all amateur photographers. Were you out on the water with your camera during Round the Island Race last weekend? Or perhaps you were taking shots from the safety of land.

Either way, if you managed to nail some cracking shots you might want to enter them in the Cowes Online photographic competition.

They’ve got some great prizes on offer and you need to do is pick our your favourite three shots, put together a brief description and send through to organisers with your contact details.

You’ve got until Friday 3 July and you will only have to wait a week to find out if you’re the lucky person who might be winning one of the following prizes.

Prizes galore
1st prize: A signed copy of Steve Sleight’s The New Complete Sailing Manual, plus a signed copy of marine photographer Ingrid Abery’s stunning poster of a Pro-Vee powerboat flip at Cowes.

2nd and 3rd prizes: A signed copy of marine photographer Ingrid Abery’s stunning poster of a Pro-Vee powerboat flip at Cowes.

The top three winning entries will be published on Cowes Online, as well as in the 2010 edition of the Cowes Port Handbook.

Email your entries to editor(at)theknowledgezone.net and don’t forget to say where you heard about it.

Putting these personalities aside for a moment: would it be seditious to suggest that, when the government announces the date for the next General Election, the people should choose the same date for the next General Strike ?

Yes, but, the people who work at the polling stations will be on strike too.

Doesn’t this whole exercise smack of scapegoating, though? Sure, Mr Martin was/is a buffoon who enjoyed the gravy train ride as much as anybody but at least he’s resigned (because he must!). I wonder how many others will feel ashamed enough to follow him out of the door and save themselves considerable embarrassment at the polls. Or are they relying on the public memory really being that… Read more »

It’s a job for the Fraud Squad, but who has the power to make them do it ?

it is digusting that MP’s hounded such a man into resigning to salve their own consiounces. It was his mistake to try and protect MPs and their historic position, but then we know MPs are among the biggest backstabbers.

He was an embarassment and should have resigned long ago. The poor man was clearly out of his depth.

But bless Andrew Turner for acknowledging Michael Martin’s kindness.
Kindness is the most important thing, after all.

whilst Andrew Turner was one of a very small minority of mps, that declined to support repeal of FOI and MP’ excemption thereby, is perhaps worthy of mention and to his personal credit, given his consistency on this issue. The question surely, should be to remind people that they would still be unaware of mp’s expenses if FOI had been revoked in relation to MP’s expenses-and which… Read more »

Scapegoat? That martin speaker has retired, not been sacked! He will get a £77,000pa pension and he will most likely get a peerage! When a question “should the speaker get a peerage?” was asked on question time the MP’s on the panel suggested that he should as he should not be singled out and to not would be a break from tradition. Well speakers who have been… Read more »

Welcome the new the Speaker – He’s been travelling in the first class compartment of the gravy train longer than Martin; his middle name is ‘Bisto’.
