No Eurovision this week – I’m gutted! Still, Phil’s gone and Man City win third successive Premier League Title – Zzzzzz

Presentation Evening

Consensus of opinion suggests it was an enjoyable evening! Many thanks to all those who managed to spare the time to attend and HUGE thanks goes to Lewis for coordinating it all; from polished trophies to certificates in their right order for me to read to organising David and the showing of the winning images (photographs? – thanks David!), again in the right order! Thanks Lewis.

AND, of course, congratulations to all ‘winners’ and especially to John for being named ‘Photographer of the year.’ Well done, John.

Calendar photographs

Many thanks to all members who managed to submit images and congratulations to those whom got an image(s) chosen. I hope you all realise that a purchase is now compulsory!

Might there be someone in your camera club that may be able to help us out with this?
