This Thursday will be our presentation night when we celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of the members in our competitions this season.
This year the event will be held at the church. A small buffet will be provided. 31st March Tonight we had the results of the Chris Crane Cup. Unfortunately due to Covid the judge, Martin Kitching was unable to be present so he submitted a commentary on the five best images. There were a total of 48 images submitted in the themes of Chris’s favourite subjects: landscapes, engineering and wildlife. Martin commented there were many images that had the attraction of a successful image - one that always holds your attention and makes you keep coming back to it. This year the judge was was asked to select the top five images rather than in previous years just have the winner announced. The results were 5th place Skyline Colin Livingston 4th place Low clouds on Skye Paul Kidd 3rd place Dung-fly on umbellifer Jim Meikle 2nd place Stay away Paul Kidd WINNER Quayside sunset Bob Finlay Congratulations to Bob for such a super winning image and thanks to all the members who submitted images and to Martin for undertaking the judging.
