Dave Snowdon judged the Summer Outings Competition on Monday 2 November. There were a good number of entries in the PDI section but disappointingly only 3 sets of prints were submitted.
Dave gave a very thoughtful and constructive appraisal of all the images. The criteria being that the images had to be taken over the weekend of our 4 Summer Outings. Members needed to have attended at least two to enter.
In the PDI section, David Bradley was in first Place with his three images. Andy Atkins was second and Lynnes James was third.
