This competition was judged on 30th October by Miles Langthorne DPAGB APAGB. The entry was small, which was possibly due to the very wet weather on two of the outings. However, the standard of the images in the competition was high.
There were 6 entries in the PDI section. In joint third place were David Henderson and Hilary Crick. In second place was Frances Dixon. Frances only joined the club as an absolute beginner last year, so this was an impressive achievement. In first place was Bob Crick with three very good images: “Middleham Cricket Match”, “Printer At Hartlepool Museum” and “Steps At Hartlepool Marina”. Bob wins the Roebuck Trophy.
There were only three entries in the Print section. In third place was Stuart Goldie. In second place was Hilary Crick. The winner in this section was Bob Crick with another three very good pictures: “Defensive Block At Middleham”, “Redcar Rose Garden In The Rain” and “Hartlepool Ship’s Store:. He wins the McCombie-Metcalf Trophy.
Congratulations to all our entrants for making the effort to attend the outings and particularly to Bob Crick for his outstanding performance.
