26th April 2012 – Competition – Open – Projected Images – Round 1 – judged by Alan Colgrave APAGB (Harrow CC)

Alan Colgrave kindly deputised at two hours notice for Chris King, whose car had broken down. 65 images were entered and the meeting was equally well attended.

Nine were held back and Alan awarded no fewer than five twenties. Unplaced but highly commended were Terry Day’s ‘Walking the dog’ and Rosemary Wenzerul’s ‘Vortex in Outer Space (Oil on Water)’.

Third place was awarded to John Jennings’ ‘Alcove in the Tower’, runner –up went to Ron Brown’s ‘Versicoloured Emerald’ (humming bird in flight) and the competition cup was deservedly awarded to the current holder, Jeremy-Fraser-Mitchell’s colourful ‘St. Pancras Station’. Well done once again, Jeremy!.

This was a very encouraging start to the new season - the club evidently has a number of talented members.
