This year we have some unfamiliar titles for some of
the competitions. Over the years it has become apparent that the
titles sometimes tax the ingenuity of the members to come up with something
which matches the theme.
It was suggested at one meeting that perhaps an
explanatory list might be produced. Well here it is ! It
has been compiled from various internet sources, so hopefully it will give
some starting point for members to take that one step further which will
help make their own competition entry stand out from the crowd.
Of course there is no guarantee that the judge will be
working to the same list !
Good Luck !
