2018
John Crowland has had his image 'Iron Man' Accepted into the Smethwick International. This was a mounted Print and increases his print acceptances in FIAP to six. He requires another six. It also gives him another country called England.
This may only be one image but it increases the countries he has acceptances in to fifteen.
After our annual weekend away, a few of us entered the Elan Valley Calendar Competition. Three of us have been shortlisted in various categories and we are in the final 3. Hopefully one of us will get chosen for the Calendar.
Well done to those who entered.
The images are
Steve Betts - Mist over Pen-y -Garreg
Martyn Duggan - Sunlight through Oak Tree
Sandra Walding - Early Morning at Caban Coch
First Battle of the season.
Wednesday night saw our first Annual battle with Beacon and Newent.
Vince Pentecost, AWPF, judged the competition for us. They were some fantastic images and it was very close at the half way stage especially with Newent on 173 and Ross on 171. The final results were Beacon 364, Newent 338 and Ross 343. Our congratulations go to Beacon on winning the Battle.
First meeting of the new season.
Barbara Nash (President) choose Simple Pleasures by John Crowland as Presidents Choice from the Exhibition at St Mary's Church, Ross. Well done John.
Barbara also presented Ian Binns, who has stepped down as Treasurer after 12 years with a gift on behalf of the Club. A big thank you to Ian for keeping our accounts in order for so long.
Last meet of the season
Our last meeting of the season ended with a carvery and skittles evening at The Walwyn Arms. The evening was well attended and everyone joined in the spirit.
Keith Sharples managed to win a box of chocolates for his fast bowling. Well done Keith
