In a high scoring evening  congratulations go to Julia Wainwright for her winning print  ‘Brown Bear Walking in the Snow’; John Draper’s ‘Memorial Trees’ was second and his ‘Blue Shutters’ third.  20s were also scored by Julia for ‘Red Kite Take Away’,  Mark Buckley-Sharp for ‘Sancaklar Panorama’, ‘Squacco Heron at Dusk’ by Ian Roberts and ‘Willows in the Mist’ by Avril Candler.  There were four 19s:  Julia’s ‘Woodland Waters’, John Draper’s ‘Yellow Poppy’ and ‘Hidden Landscape’ and ‘Toxic Green’ by Pawel Niemczyk.  Amongst the 18s were ‘Wind and Diesel’ by Peter Polkinghorne, ‘Mariana at Amersham’ by Alan Colegrave and ‘Yorkshire’ by Trevor Alexander. These and all the entries may be seen on our Facebook page.

First of the Evening by Julia Wainwright

Thanks and well done to all our print makers and to everyone who came along to support the evening.  Special thanks to Amanda for her excellent judging.

Next week we have a Portrait workshop at Hatch End; it is a great opportunity to take portraits with studio lighting and models.  Grateful thanks to Alan Colegrave for organising the evening.

In the meantime enjoy the Jubilee celebrations and long weekend.
