Get my camera out of the bag.
Careful!
It's dead easy getting it/them out of the bag but quite another to take them out with you! That's why I bought a second XF-1, to live in the car because I too often forget to pick a camera up when I go out. I also have the old D70 with the 18-270 fitted alongside the V1 with the 70-300 in a bag handy to grab as and when the mood takes me. Gives me a fairly wide range of focal lengths to play with, 27-810 or so in 35mm EFL. Unfortunately, the 18-270 isn't happy on the V1, possibly due to the low light but equally possibly a compatibility issue (oh dear, maybe I'll have to seek out an 18-200 Nikkor...!)
Last Christmas, the MiL bought me a book about Devon and I went through it marking all the places I want to shoot (or at least snap at!) but by the time the light and weather was good enough, driving privileges were suspended. In theory, they'll be restored soon so I can put the plan into action. Since Mrs Nod is now free for 3 daytimes per week (as well as some weekends), she'll be able to accompany me on the walks the shooting will probably entail.
Not really a competitive sort but may have a go at POTY - maybe even a few other competitions if the prize is worth the effort. Like Matt, I would have no problem with the team entering - they're first and foremost members here and have been saddled with the task of keeping us in line (pretty sure that volunteers are shoved to the back of the "mod possibles" list) so shouldn't be penalised for their work here. Maybe even an extra competition purely for the team if there's opposition to them entering with us plebs!
Again transport related, I hope to be able to make some meets this year. I'll do my utmost to get to the TPE in May but also want to do Chris's nutters meet and a BWC one - maybe even organise one to the Dartmoor Zoological Park...
Did try a 12 a few years ago but failed - probably down to the illness but since I'm mended now, I can't use that as an excuse! Might even get around to screwing a QR platform to a fence post and taking a series of regular shots to see how the view changes through the year.
However, knowing me, achieving ONE of the above plans will be a minor miracle but I will do what I can!
Good luck to all with their plans and...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

this is North Korea 
for the record I cannot see an issue with you taking part...I don't see since its ran in isolation from the Slack Server from what I've read how you could possibly get unfair advantage
