A year when many used their cameras to sustain well-being!
05/02/2021
Members were unable to gather for the annual celebratory meal when Picture of the Year 2020 awards were announced on Thursday evening, but nevertheless gathered virtually to applaud the winners .The amiable judge, John Scaife, attended in person , and took the time to appreciate every image entered with sensitive feedback and well received advice. As a small club we do really well every year, and it was satisfying to see that 2020 winning entries were spread throughout the club, and that many of the images had been captured either on our Lockdown Walks or in the Weekly Challenges, that in this past year have been such a support to our collective well-being and individual emotional health.
Jill Toman took first place in both the Landscape and Action categories, whilst Graham Nicholls won the Portrait section, and Janice Cuer the category “Other”. The overall winning Picture of 2020 was Graham’s portrait of “Canal Boatman”. Those who regularly enter competitions throughout the year accrue points towards the trophies awarded for Mono and Colour and Jill Toman is to be congratulated for her consistency in both categories winning each with totals over 50 .It was a well-attended evening that celebrated the best of 2020 as best we could.
