Competitions

Many thanks to our panel of judges, David Tolliday, Andrew Wilson and Chris Aggersbury, for doing such a professional job last night.  The top 10 are as follows: In equal first place with 10 points each are Anthony Gosling, Pamela Carr and Len Claydon.  Other scorers are: Anthony again with 7 points, Steve Gresty with 2 images gaining 6 points and one in tenth place, Kevin Blake scores 4, Kevin Lomax 3 and Len Claydon with another 2 points.

With 47 entries there was a strong field, with many people entering prints for the first time. Hopefully, this will mean that we can re-introduce more prints to the internal competitions next season. Thanks to all who took the trouble to enter.

The leader board is now as follows:

Anthony Gosling 28; Steve Gresty 26; Kevin Blake 19; Conor Molloy 16; Paul Scott 15; David Tolliday 13; Louise Acton and  Len Claydon on 12;  and Pamela Carr 10; Kevin Lomax 7; Vince Spaks 6;  Malcolm Brunt 4 and Irene Lea 1.

One of our aims for 2016 is to get more active in Federation and National level competitions, so our first foray is into the national GB Cup as organised by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. We have entered the nature section and here is a selection of our images. So far we have 14 images from five club photographers but only the top 10 scoring images will count. There is also a prize for the photographer with the best 3 images. Lets see how we get on.

Only one week left to get your print entries in for the next competition. Entries must be in by 18th Jan. There will be no extensions as the prints will be collected by the judges next Monday evening. Please DO NOT write your name on the back, only the title, as the competition will be judged by a panel of club members. Also, don’t forget to send your entry form to me as usual.

Good luck!
