We thoroughly enjoyed our trip down Memory Lane last night as each of our Print trophy winners shared the stories behind their winning prints.

Thanks to Peter Polkinghorne who took us through the rationale behind his ‘Mostly Mono’ panel, the process he went through to decide on the final layout and reminded us about ‘what the judge thought’ vs his thinking! Each print was framed in a black mount which gave a cohesiveness to the panel.

Mostly Mono by Peter Polkinghorne

We heard from Avril Candler who was awarded three Trophy certificates for Nature,  The Elements (Set Subject) and the Open Trophy;  Judith Gimber for Monochrome and Landscape;  Judy Buckley-Sharp for Montage (a rare item as this specialism has been replaced this year with ‘Triptych’) and Sanjay Mistry for People & Portraits.   As the Open Trophy is derived from the monthly competitions the array below contains a number of Avril’s images!

TROPHY WINNING PRINTS 2022-23

Very many thanks to our contributors and to those who came along to support the evening.

Next week we are hosting a first round inter-club Rosebowl competition over Zoom.  We look forward to meeting members of the competing clubs.

In the meantime stay safe and well.
