6 Club Battle

Hi all,

 

A big thank you to all the people who came along to Ardleigh House last night in support of our club in the 6 club battle.....I think we ended up with 19 of us there! A great turn out.

 

The 6 clubs participating were Upminster, Hornchurch, Thurrock, Brentwood, Barking and North Romford.

 

It was a digital battle, with each club entering 8 images, judged by Barbie Lindsay.....the scoring system had me baffled for a while, but eventually it sunk in!!

 

The results were:

 

place           club                 points

 

1st            Thurrock                128

2nd           North Romford      118

3rd            Upminster              116

4th            Brentwood             110

5th            Barking                  108

6th            Hornchurch            104

 

There are 2 competitions coming up in November, and as always it'd be great to see you there. I will send out details tomorrow.

 

See you later at club.

Chelmsford Panel Competition

Hi all

 

I attended The Chelmsford Camera Club panel competition on Saturday 12th October, along with Dave and Lin Wilcox.

 

We entered 2 panels from our club - we opted for the ones which got 1st and 2nd places in our own panel comp;

Fungi of the forest by Sarah Brigden, and

Faces of India by Dave Wilcox

 

They both had favourable comments from the judge, Richard Walton, who also gave Daves panel highly commended in the competition.

 

The winning club on the day was Benfleet camera club with a lovely panel depicting slalom canoeists. [is that the right spelling?? sorry if its not!!]
