It was a really good evening.  Ian Smith was a brilliant judge, saying that the standard of photos was high and gave    lots of tips about diagonals, golden sections and the rule of thirds.  Next year hopefully there will be some even more brilliant photos suitably  cropped and saturated.
The winners were:

1st Simon
2nd Gordon
3rd Frank
4th Mike Doyle 
Abroad:
1st Rosie
2nd Simon
3rd Linda
4th Dave C
UK Pictorial:

2nd Paul G /  Simon
3rd Simon
4th Tina  
Action

2nd   Simon
3rd Mike D
4th: Martin Whittaker.
So the Shield deservedly went to Simon for all his brilliant photos.  Well done Rosie for coming first in the Abroad .
Martin won the club interest photo with Charles Knowles standing by Charles Knowles lane.
Hopefully fairly soon the pictures will be on the clubroom wall and the website.
