Ten club members plus two friends of members visited the British Wildlife Centre at Lingfield.
We assembled at 9.30 and had a welcome 'cuppa'. Then the keeper who was going to take us into the various enclosures introduced herself and off we set.
Anne Nagle started the evening with her report on our year's events and highlights and we all agreed with her that it had been a very good and interesting season.
Walter Benzie was our judge for the evening. Walter startedthe evening by saying that this particular set of images was of a very high standard which was reflected in the scoring.
Seventeen I hear you say. Yes that’s the score.
The judge, Andrew Perry, after much deliberating, pacing up and down, stroking his beard announced the score, yes you’ve guessed it, 17. After the first dozen or so images it was too obvious that if an image was not held back then it was going to score seventeen. There was even a murmur going through the audience before the score was announced.
Well that was it, the end of another season, and what a season it has been. We have had new faces, new judges, new evening activities and some cracking images to look at. All in all I think it has been a very productive season and I look forward to the next one.
The evening was for the members to submit their two best projected and printed images for a different judge to asses and to hope to win the best print of the year cup.
The nights judge was Glyn Edmunds ARPS, DPAGB, EFIAP/b.
