Internal Competition – Pairs

By Alison Competitions, News No Comments

Thanks to all who attended and submitted entries for our ‘Pairs’ competition. Thanks also to our judge Nick Berentzen who stepped in at short notice when our booked judge had to withdraw. There were a wide range of takes on the theme but congratulations go to Paul Scott, Len Claydon and Conor Molloy for taking the top 3 spots.

It’s definitely hotting up in the league with only one competition remaining so all to play for. The leader board is as follows:

Anthony Gosling 34; Steve Gresty 26; Paul Scott 25; Conor Molloy and Len Claydon 24; Kevin Blake 19.

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.
