Many thanks to Chris Drury for judging our double print competitions comprising Monochrome and Open (anything other than mono!).

Even though our evenings in the hall are ‘compressed’,  we were underway in good time for a very successful evening  thanks to everyone’s help in getting set up.

Congratulations to Judith Gimber who won the Monochrome competition with ‘Finlay’;  ‘Jurgita’ by Alan Colegrave was second and Mark Buckley-Sharp’s ‘Beggars Bridge’ third.  Highly commended were ‘Black and White Emperor Tamarin Monkey’ and ‘Goodbye No Claims Bonus’ by Avril Candler and  ‘Tattooed Lady’ and ‘Wetneck’ by Alan Colegrave.  Commended were Mark’s ‘Eller Beck Rapid, Alan’s ‘Princess, Guatemala’ and YC Wei’s ‘Reading in Sunlight’.
