On 20th 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 David Kissman, who made comments on every entry which were both detailed and helpful.

On 27 November 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 11 December.  Club President Neil Cook 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. 

Well done to everybody who received an award, and thanks to you all for supporting this competition, providing two evenings of great photography.
