On 29th November the club began the highlight of the club's competition season The Annual Competition.
This first evening was devoted to print entries. These were judged by Ray Brammall, who revealed his choices accompanied by valuable, erudite comments.
On 6th December the club saw the the judging of the dpi entries by Stephen Dean. Stephen gave constructive comments on each image and marked them to determine the final winners.
The presentation of the silver trophies took place on 13 December. Club President Colin Hucklesby presented the silver trophies for the winning entries in both the Annual competition, and the trophies for the points accumulated in the bi monthly competitions.
