Chichester triumphed yet again! But enough of them, what about the team that came second? You guessed, it was us!
A great effort against the giants of the competition, we were ahead at the half way stage, but were pipped at the post with their last print which scored a 20, giving them victory by 2 points.
Star of our show was Derek with his “Golden Eagle with Kill” that won great praise from the judge Liz Boud. Honourable mentions went to Daisy for “Upper Cast Neighbourhood” and Ian with “Male Broad Bodied Chaser”.
Unfortunately John Gauvin’s “Snowdrop” got marked down because it was not given its correct name of Amarillidaceae “Galanthus”. Don’t make that mistake again John!!!
Anyway coming second out of nine clubs was a tremendous performance, and should give us encouragement for the rest of the season. I know we have some great prints for next year’s competition, which of course we will be hosting.
The scores achieved by our prints were as follows:
- Golden Eagle with Kill (Derek Grieve) 20
- Upper Cast Neighbourhood (Daisy Kane) 19
- Male Broad Bodied Chaser (Ian MacWhirter) 19
- Grey Wagtail Reflection (Ian MacWhirter) 18
- Snowdrop (John Gauvin) 17
- The Body Shot (Peter Michell) 16.5
