Days Out Competition 2017
We enjoyed eleven days out during 2017, and images taken during any of these are eligible to be entered in our Day Out Competition, which took place on 4 January 2018. We were delighted to welcome back Dave Bibby from North Fylde Camera Club to be our judge for the 12 prints and 23 PDIs.
For this competition we require one print and one PDI to be the top scorer, as the winning authors will be presented with a trophy at our presentation evening. The prints were shown first, and after a run through Dave awarded 18 points and third place to “Ironbridge” by Ken Tebay, and “”Tea for Two” by Dave Liggett came second with 19 points. The eventual winner in the print section was “Inside Victoria Halls” by Gordon Hartley.
